This is Sean Whalen (prion).

I was just wondering about the names of the cities in the Whorl and
their meaning.

Viron:  Latin for a circle, center.  Viron is surrounded by other
cities in circular pattern.  Suggests the word environ.

Limna:  Latin for the edge.  It's at the edge of Viron.

Palustria:  Latin for swampy place.  Surrounded by swamps.

Gens:  Latin for a family line, a clan.

Urbs:  Latin for city.

Ur:  Name of an ancient city on Earth.

Wick:  Just what it says, as far as I know.

Trivigaunte:  I don't know about this.  Can anyone help?
