Arcoscephale: Arr-Kose-Keh-Fale

Vanheim: Van-heem
Jotunheim: Joh-Tun-Heem
R'lyeh: have no clue

Pangaea I pronounce

"Pan-gee-uh"

or

"Pan-gay-ah"

But that is from the root word on both of them.

Abysia: ah-BISS-ee-ah

C'tis: k (glottal stop) TISS

Arcoscephale: ARR-kos-seh-PHAH-leh (but you're probably right that the 'c' should be hard)

Marignon: mar-ee-NYONH (nh being nazalized n)...this is France, after all

Pangaea: pan-GAY-ah

Vanheim: VAN-haym

R'lyeh: rrr (glottal stop) lll YEH (easy )
