Ballesta = Crossbow in spanish, probably from latin since spanish descends from latin.

Silkroad was made based on real life stuff, every place in the map exists in real life, lots of mobs (maybe a different name):
Constantinople -> Turkey

Karakoram: Karakoram is a large mountain range spanning the borders between Pakistan, India and China.
Taklamakan: The Taklamakan Desert, is a desert in the southwest portion of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China.
Roc: A powerfull bird from the persian mythology
Also, look at jupiter temple, it's based on the greek and roman mythology with its uniques, Jupiter (Zeus), Yuno (Juno), etc.
Medusa: In Greek mythology Medusa was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as having the face of a hideous human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair.
Gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone.
Sounds familiar? :rolleyes:
Also take a look at the old isro server's names, every one was a known word, not a random invented one.
Would keep searching around, but senseless since all silkroad is based on mythologies and real life places
