If these questions have already been answer just point me to the link, please. Okay, the map is not working for me. And I'd like a list of the major kingdoms or nations along with major or semi-major towns. I'd like this info very much, thank you.

Also, one additional question: has there been any historical events such as war, crusades, something like that to include. And, sorry to be rambling that brings to a third question, how are you doing religions here, should one be created?

Hi Avuyokip!

What about the map isn't working for you? It's a large .jpg file, I just checked it and it loaded fine. Are you having problems loading the file, reading the file, or does the link itself not work?

As for the major kingdoms, nations, towns, etc. - we have no canon settings here on Abydos and writers are free to make these up as they please. The map encompasses such a huge area that you can make up what you will without having to worry much about stepping on others' toes. If you do create a kingdom, town, or other location and would like to use the information again, you can post descriptions of these places in the Reference Archives section. However, other writers aren't obliged to use this information unless they want to.

We haven't really written any major historic events yet, and again - there isn't any canon history here. You can make historic events up if you want, or write one, or refer to one that might have happened.

Religions are the same as kingdoms and histories - we don't have an established canon religion, instead writers are free to make up what they want.

Hope that was helpful! Let me know about the map image, and if you have further questions about the other things ^_^

Ah, thank you very much,now I guess I need to come up with a name for the kingdom/nation. But when I attempt to go to the map, my computer says "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.fuzzystingray.com/Abydos/map2.jpg” because it can’t find the server “www.fuzzystingray.com”.

That works. Good map. I'm going to say that the kingdom that my characters are in are in the south western green part of Nerandor and little bit more beyond that.

Oh wow. I just spotted it.

Eranor is the South Island, isn't it? The South Island of New Zealand? And Meigia is Madagascar, and... well, I can't pick the other three, but I'm right, right?

Well, Nerandor looks a bit Ireland-ish, and I think Amalterre is Norway... but I can't quite place Rith. Is that one original?
