Sohlodar [sɒɬɒdar] The lands where the Sohlob langauages are spoken
The Sohloçan cardinal compass directions are actually rotated 45 degrees eastward compared to the English/Terran compass points. However the Sohlob terms for the compass points are usually translated with their closest functional English equivalents, so that kember which is actually north-east is usually translated as 'north' and so on.
