Starting populations

Here's a rough map, lacking geographical features (which remain in my head for now), showing the initial distribution of stuff:


Places marked D are concentrated deposits of people who speak Proto-Draconic.  E means a Proto-Elvish-speaking population, B means a Proto-Bob speaking population, M means a location of mystic import that would be Named by all who are near it.

More info:
There are two primary races of this world:
The strong, powerful, naturally-armed-and-armored race that represents the Yang-esque elements of human nature, which I am calling dragons or draconic.  These naturally speak PD.
The weak, lovely, mystically-inclined, Yin-esque race, which I am variously calling elves, faerie, or whatever, but from which anvor's equivalents to nearly all the humanoid fantasy races shall spring.  These speak PE.

PB is spoken by hybrid-mudbloods created by the Evil as a slave-race.  You can think of them as sort-of orcs, though I have in mind for them to become the more widespread human-esque set, ultimately.  Post-war, their main goal in life at the moment is simply to be left be.

M1 = a place associated with Truth.  (The original Dragons Eye Isle is there).
M2 = a place associated with Goodness (This is where Uva would be, originally).
M3 = a place associated with Beauty. (Sulai lake in the original).
