[HISTORY] The Location of the Province of Wessex [DARKFALL]

Ever since I applied for membership in the DoW, I've been thinking about the way our homeland will eventually look. The economy especially. This makes me wonder what the Wessexian country side will be like, as this will have a major influence on the export. Assuming we will have one big province, that is. Not scattered cities like the Hellenic City States of old.
I hope we will have at least one city near a body of water leading to the ocean. Otherwise we'd have a bit of a problem concerning the navy.

Anyway, since a map of Agon has been released, have any plans been made concerning the location of Wessex yet? (Aside from it being located in Mercia)

Pretty top-secret stuff, imo.

Soo...who sent you?

We're not going to be "located in" Mercia. Just cross out Mercia and write in Wessex.

I am pretty sure this is what Beta will be for. We will get a whole lot of people to scout out possible city sites, possible enemy city sites, mines, rivers, etc

I guess we'll just have to see when beta starts.

Really? I apologize. I only wish to learn! *Scratches head confusedly*

And about who sent me... there's this little voice in my head, you see.

Anyway, if this really is top-secret I won't press the matter any further *Grin*. I just hope it'll be a bit of a sensible location.

Our capital city, Win-caster, will be positioned where it is most beneficial within Darkfall in relation to gameplay and the Hyperion Kingdom. This sort of decision will be made in beta through scouting efforts.

..Have faith that Wessex will assume any clanstone that we so desire, we'll be situated where we can get the best from every world (close to water, quarries, mines, resource nodes, allies, solid defence positions etc etc)

I'm already looking forward to seeing an army of 400+ men in newby gear wandering Agon in search of a good spot to found Win-Caster.

There will be other guilds competing for land. They will have to stand before to the entire Hyperion alliance. And with ork, Alfar and Mahirim clans trying to conquer and pillage we will have our work cut out for us. It will require a lot of blood, sweat, and tears of our enemies:)

Will the Hyperion kingdoms be right next door to each other? I kind of see it like a semicircle which has it's base along the coast. And like a pinneapple the land will be sectioned off. I say this because I figure everyone is going to want to take advantage of all that DF has to offer.
