I like Kassin - it is similar enough to real cities to have a city-like feel for me, I guess, without being too familiar or too odd/hard to pronounce. As far as rendering the name in English, something like Emperor's Landing works, although that one feels just a touch bulky to me. Hmm. Good luck though!
I think Adenik or Kassin -- I definitely like the exotic-sounding names. Goodnight! PS alternatively, you could go with something like "Deep Water" or "Dark Water," to go with "Dry Rivers." Maybe all Telaka towns have names involving water, somehow or other.
I didn't know that about Kuala Lumpur! But (having dealt a lot with medieval place names) it is amazing how many places there are called something like New Port/Castle/Market - so I very much like the idea of a place that would have an 'exotic' sounding name like Adanek of Kassin, which could then be revealed to mean something quite prosaic. The only problem is that you would have to do that for all the places, so you would have to give a Telaka version of Dry Rivers as well. And I do like Deep Water (in Telaka, of course)!
All this naming sounds fun. Hope you are enjoying it!
