I'm trying to figure out what some locations on the Marlinko map are. They don't seem to be in the book anywhere. Any advice?

Specifically, what are:
House o't'g?
Samo's Well? (and who is Samo?)
Tilen's Waxarium? (who is Tilen?)
Guild Petit-Bourgeois?

I suspect these are just starter ideas for me to invent with. Is that correct?

So we are playing the Feral Shore next week (I really want to commit to getting back going forward in this year with the eventual retirement of Revoca). Here is the recap and update y'all wanted (the linked piece being an updated version of my previous update, make sure to read the stuff here in this post).  Recap The Feral Shore is currently three months behind Revoca in the space/time continuum. Players can take the opportunity now to conduct a week of downtime activity before the session next week. (Some sites in the Weird bend time so I am not going to overworry integrating the two play groups.)  What Happened Last Session and During Downtime: 1. The party killed Milos the creepy hedge wizard of the Deermen in the wooded river basin to your west. Total treasure hauled out (and this was never posted) from furnishings and ancient coins totals 3,100 gold suns and a collection of three filigreed and magically-balanced spent-uranium throwing axes (+1 and an additional 30' of ran...
