    A couple of things: I understand a bit (not a lot) of Czech but have no experience with the Slovakian language, however, I understand that they're very similar. The area marked Polovíčné údohe has me puzzled. I assume that polovíčné means half or halfway, but what does údohe mean? It's a word I've never encountered before, and it isn't in any of my Czech-English or Czech-German dictionaries. The second is a comment, not a question. The forest tagged Velký les looks like an intriguing, mysterious place. Have you thought about giving it a sexier name than just Velký les (Big, huge or great forest in English)?

    It is Údolie (now it seems to me Údohe too ) and means valley, but U got it right, its Half valley because hlaf of it is wood and half is grass field
    The Big forest is named because is so big that it isnt even mapped all... on the map is just a part of it (the part where ordinary people arent affraid to go) and behind the hill on the north (without name) the forest continues but it is restricted to adventurers only I didnt want a name like dark forest or The forest of walking death, I wanted smthing ordinary for smthing not so ordinary (one adventurer may say: "Hoo, every forest can be big, but no one can be so large that we cannot map it!!" but yes it can and it its this forest, the only one unnatural in my world and his name comes from times even before the Hyran was established... the people referenced it allways "there, near the big forest" or "he died in the big forest"
    and yes you are right, czech and slovak lang is very similar
