Well, elves have roman esque names anyway.
1. There is no natural barrier (as in mountains or wall) near borders of Germania and eastern barbarian territory.
2. Since the cartographer said that elves sealed up the mountains, I thought they used some magic to raise the mountains (ala Populous) to keep away the human and lizardfolks, like Picts in Hadrian's reign.
