From Incan, originally Rimay-Tawa, meaning “Land of 4 tongues.”

Cha: A swath of wild jungle in Rim-Tawa, sacred to Jaguar
Huaca Yana: a place that translated into “Monument of Black”
Huar: (From the Peruvian Huari) The Huar are traditionally fierce warriors who arrived in this world in circa 699 AD, hot on the heels of the Mochene, hunting them. They are notoriously hated by the god Jaguar.
Mistvale Mountains: (XXX) More commonly called Izhi Qichwa Otul (meaning “Mist Valley Mountains”) in the Yaru tongue of Rim-Tawa, the peaks of this small but formidable range seem impossibly tall, its valleys impossibly deep. It is permeated throughout by ever-present mists that give it its name, and (some say) seem to make travelers lose their way with purposeful malevolence. The hidden city of Paititi is located somewhere within this infamous range.
Paititi: (from the Incan lost city of gold, correctly named Paititi) hidden in the Mistvale Mountains, this mythical city is all too real… allegedly. (It is also one of seven alleged “Cities of Gold” rumored to be located on Varsa, though seven have not been found.) Sadly, none who have purposefully sought this city have found it; legend says only accidental discovery finds the true path to the city of gold, and even well-meaning people attempting to return to Paititi can never seem to find the right path.
Silvermounts: (from the Argentinian Sierra de la Plata myth) more commonly called Quli Otul (meaning “Silver Mountains”) In the Yaru tongue of Rim-Tawa, the Silvermounts are located within the Mistvale Mountain range. They are not just topped with picturesque snow throughout the year, but are also rich with veins of silver.
Lacta Inca: (from the City of Caesars myth, in the Andes, somewhere between Chile and Argentina) Meaning “City of Kings” in the Yaru tongue, Lacta Inca is another hidden city of legend, showing why the Incans have done so well in this world.
Mochene: (From the Peruvian Moche) Traditional foes of the Huar, who arrived in the Otherrealm circa 699 AD fleeing the Huar. The Mochene are beloved of the god Jaguar.
Vale of the Ancients: (XXX) A Lost World civilization rife with dinosaurs and early man.
