    A small advice from a native German: watch the genders of the words. Cities are normally no problem but larger regions have often names with articles. Examples:
    "The Westmarch" - "Die Westmark" (feminin)
    "The Swamp of terror" - "Der Sumpf des Schreckens" (masculin)
    "The Realm of XY" - "Das Reich von XY" (neutral)

    The simplest solution is to go with plural, then "die" is always correct (at least in Nominativ).

    [edit] TBF (further down) is right. I was asking myself why my examples sounded so awkward.
