Etymology

The name Saakalistal comes from the Saakishan name for an ancient city-state that existed along the edge of the Magnumare Sea, the name being a combination of the Saakish word "śtäl", meaning fortress or fortified city, and the ancient Saakish name "Ṡa'aķal" thus the full name meaning "Ṡa'aķal's fortress".
