Would the kingdoms still be using their old names during the period of the Dragonstorm or would they have adopted the names that are listed on the map of the provinces?

How fast would the conditions have deteriorated following the beginning of the Year of Darkness?

Would the map of the provinces be roughly accurate on things like the location of large cities (with the exception of Strata) around the time of the Year of Darkness?

As can be seen on this map the pre-Santharian kingdoms existed until 482 b.S. (b.S. = before Santhros), so in the time of the Dragonstorm (1648 b.S.) the ancient kingdoms still exist for quite a while. Provinces come into being at the time of Santhros (0).



What do you mean with conditions? The fact that everything turned into eternal winter? Well, within a bunch of weeks I'd say things get already pretty serious.

The location of the cities surely can mostly be taken for granted, especially in Northern Santharia, the south might be a little bit of a different story, yup, as Strata was not "discovered/founded" yet.

Oh, I see, that's such an example where you need to have the IE, not conform with any other browser. Again this deficiency of the site shows. But, as I didn't need it so far, it seems to be not such a great loss not to be able to see it.

Erm... That's just a picture in a simple entry. Why would you need to have IE to view that picture??

What I see in the Erpheronian tribe entry is this one, not the one above. So I thought it is again such a mouse -over pic.



Edit:

It is in the 'Kingdom of Santharia' Entry.

Would be cool to have a list of all maps somewhere, and if it where in every sticky of every relevant board (Places, Tribes and History)

Are there more of those hidden gems somewhere?

Are Shabby and Dek the same person in my mind.  Strange.
20 May 2012, 10:38:19
Ah yes, forgot to point out to Shabakuk that Chapter 5 is ready for testing - will do so now!
18 May 2012, 09:35:51
I am pleased it is going well for you though Seeker ... can't wait to try it and die. :D
18 May 2012, 09:35:13
No, I didn't Seeker. :( I think it is Master Anfang who is doing the testing
18 May 2012, 08:30:42
Dek-   shoals is going very well.  Art is starting on chapter 6. A very important chapter.  Did you test chapter 5?

Waiiiiiit!   (Bard staggers back with a pile of Unfinished Projects so high her arms are trembling)  Let me stuff mine in there before you lock the room!  *looks guiltily around and snatches the Quenyss parchment off the top of the stack*

and throw the key into the deepest river we can find, or the midst of one of the volcanoes
13 May 2012, 03:19:29
Then I say we lock the Unfinished Projects room.  If Arti ever gets in there.... big trouble. rolleyes

I'm amazed you can see the Altario projects pile considering it is dwarfed by my unfinished projects. For which I apologise.
