Real places/things where SRO was based on
Posted: Tue May 26, 2015 9:30 am
So obviously a lot of names in SRO were based on actual (or mythological) things in the real world and real silk road. In this topic an overview of all these places I could find. It would be nice if everybody adds stuff, so eventually we have all our future holiday destinations with nostalgic feelings.
