Dementlieu has a French renaissance background ( as can be deducted from the names of the cities and inhabitants).
The language spoken is a sort of 'French'. (see Mordent)
It is odd that Dementlieu seems to have so few settlements. Additionally, the main road connects to Falkovnia - not known as a high renaissance state.
In building the map, I presumed the existence of two other roads (and hence two other towns that would serve as gateways to the domain: the road to Lamordia - specifically to Ludendorf, and the road to Pont-a-Museau in Richemulot.
Added towns were Chateaunoir, the gateway to Richemulot, and Carlion de Duc, a fortified town that guards the bridge on the Musarde River. Josquin des Flétans is a small fishing village, renown for the fish (a sort of sweetwater halbut) that is caught in the Lac Flétan ('Halbut Lake'). Ste Lucienne is a fishing town under the personal care (and influence) of the d'Honaires.
The village Edrigan is taken from 'Van Richten's Guide to Fiends'. It is the place where Dr van Richten confronted the fiend Drigor.

I also added quite a few names.
Isle d'Orleon is the small island at the Dementlieu coast.
This isle does not have settlers, but it does have a large stone structure known as the 'Pierre du Mort' (litt: Death Rock). This vast fortress, once the domicile of a knightly order, is now used as a prison for those who draw the unwanted attention of the domain's Darklord.
Famous in Dementlieu are the lakes.
These 'lacs' ('lake' in french) are a very prominent feature, so we thought it important to provide a name for each of them.
Names given are:
Lac Flétan (Halbut lake)
Lac des Brumes (Mist lake)
Lac Comte Josquin
Lac des Brumes (Mist lake)
Lac des Pendus (Hangman Lake)
Lac de Gaube
Lac Fleau (Curse Lake)
Lac Sebastian (Lake of Sebastian)
Lac Cahagnet
Lac Nigramous (Nigramous: a castle from the Arthurian legends.)

The lakes on the Falkovnian side have names derived from that countries language: Lake Dorst and Lake Likho. ('Dorst' means thirst. a 'Likho' is a slavic malicious water monster)
