::Yes, I can see that it is meant to mirror Morek. But my point is why are we celebrating the generals of Astrum? It is a theocracy, and the judge is the representative of the religion in the realm.

Revision as of 09:38, 5 September 2008
Sections
I have removed the Claims section. The claims are unwieldy and rapidly get out of date. Also, why do we have a "Generals" section? We don't have a "Rulers", "Bankers", "Judges" or "Dukes" section. --Indirik 23:09, 2 May 2008 (CEST)
- I think it's supposed to be a parallel to The Ordermasters of Morek. But yeah, it might do us better to stick with Ordermaster or something else entirely. --Hystrix 04:09, 17 May 2008 (CEST)
- Yes, I can see that it is meant to mirror Morek. But my point is why are we celebrating the generals of Astrum? It is a theocracy, and the judge is the representative of the religion in the realm. Shouldn't we rather have a section commemorating them? Or the Vasilisa, as the leader of the faith? --Indirik 14:12, 17 May 2008 (CEST)

Suggestions
Comparing to history, I see Astrum as a combination of Christian Crusaders which cannot be denied due to the names of the armies and a devout influence of Sanguis Astroism, and Ancient Greek culture, which is seen in the names of realms council and the "mediterranean" position on the map. That is a unusal mix, but a positive one, as we wouldn't wanna play by the history books. This page has many flaws.
My suggestions:
- the realm page has been done parallel to the one of Morek, but I find that to be uneccessary. In my opinion the section Notables of Astrum should be completely removed, and the first seven explorers linked in a new page. The official in-game text could be added in let's say the Begining Section and a link to the explorers added.
- the top banner is too big and should be scaled down a little bit. The picture Astrum_cities.jpg should also be removed and put in a new page, as it takes too much space and the realm page looks endless due to it.
- more text should be added to sections Government and History, and Strategos, Fiduciary... should be linked to a new page where nobles who held the title should be chronologicaly stated.
- Festivals and Holdays section are great RP addition, but in my opinion should be places under Culture section. Armies should also be redesigned a little. :)
- Legends are a good addition, but they should be filled with some of those RPs.
- for the Regions of Astrum a template should be made (I don't know how to do that, otherwise I would already).
- Lost Heroes can stay, but at least some text should be added. --Arakiss 09:33, 05 September 2008 (CEST)
