I've expanded on the Faerie Woods entry as follows:

"The Fairy Woods: 60 miles North of Orussus, there is a small section of woodlands primarilly inhabited by the Fey. This woodland is the southernmost tip of the Silverwood, and touches upon the Larkenwold reach. The fey here range from the more usual, such as brownies and pixies, to fearsome and rare types of fey. At least one Ragewalker is known to be held in one of the warded clearings, unable to leave but deadly to any that stumble upon him. An infamous Redcap from this area was slain by adventurers in the course of the adventure "The Faerie Woods." The Fey Lord, who lives in Under-The-Hill, has a great deal of influence over the Fairy Woods, though he is trapped in that pocket dimension and cannot (as yet) physically enter EN World."

I entered a section on Monemvassia on the Wikki. I'll keep putting in more stuff. I have a write up of The Vastermarch, and the Academy of the Chromatic Order that I'll add, or edit if entries already exist. I should also make entries for the Knights of monemvassia, some NPCs and such.

Tell me, Rae Ardgaoth, o-Wiki-ized one, If I make an entry for someone/something, will it automatically be linked to any mention of that name in other entries, or do I have to create the links myself as I create/edit entries? And do I have to make all my own HTML code entries? And how do I create an entry for the Vastermarch? I don't see how to create an article.

I made myself an ID, there, as Manzanita.

It won't be done automatically. Rather, they need to be linked manually (via the wikilink [[Link]] thingy).

And do I have to make all my own HTML code entries?

Not sure what you mean here. If you mean formatting, above the edit box, there should be a number of buttons to help with that. In a nutshell, ''italic'' results in italic, '''bold''' -> bold, and ==Header 1== to ====Header 3==== result in the approriate headers. If you add {{Living ENWorld}} to the top of the article, you get the navigation bar.

And how do I create an entry for the Vastermarch? I don't see how to create an article.

There should be a link to Living ENWorld:Vastermarch Cities from the Orussus Region article. Follow that link, and you'll get an empty edit box to fill it with. If there is no such link, create one as above (and remember to preface the link with Living ENWorld: ). Hope that helps!

 

[Knight Otu]

In case you missed it, the link for the Vastermarch cities is here.

 

[Manzanita]

Thanks, Otu. That helps some. I did update the Vastermarch, and I see that my entry for the Academy is already there.

I was thinking I should make a separate entry for more NPCs and organizations. I don't see how to create an 'article' or whatever for these. Once I create them, I can link to them in other articles. I can edit existing entries, but not create them.

 

[Rystil Arden]

Edited out the wishy-washyness on Medibaria's capital--would add more to the Academy, but don't have time.

 

[Knight Otu]

You just did create a new article.
To better illustrate it, the Orussus Region page has two colors of links. The blue and orange links lead to existing articles. The green links lead to articles that don't exist. When you follow a green link, you'll get an edit box like you did in the Vastermarch Cities link. When you save it, you have created a new article.

FYI - Covington is not on the map, but is about a day north or south of Lathirn (It's about 7 days via the road from Orussus) and was detailed in Festival of Halina to some degree.

Earling has been detailed by myself and Kahuna Burger, I can update some information about it, Kahuna can as well if she's still around.

On a side note, Rivensblight description listed seems to differ from the one I've been given in at least one adventure. Since I ended up making some character history in the city, I'm curious how accurate each one is.

 

[Steve Jung]

hah yes clerics/druids seem to be in great demand. Perhaps they should barter for a larger share of the treasure.

We can get treasure? Looks like Charlarn's going to renegotiate his contract.

 

[Velmont]

Steve, in your imagination. Ridik is level 4 and only have is starting equipement on him. He won 200 gp over 3 levels...



Ooooh damned... and I'm walking with level 5 to 7 characters who are fully equip, why I suddenly don't give much for Ridik hide?

Thinking fo it, he would have made more money staying at the Inn since his creation and taking one a job...
