Well, let's get the Wiki done.

Thanks
I don't know how is best to organize it (the main page) but I guess the best is first to put some info on it, and then maybe will become more evident...

Well, I do not know either
so I just added a few categories which seem to make roughly sense. At elast it is enough that people can start adding more detailed pages.
Unfortunately it is a different Wiki sytem from what I use at work (as a user, not admin) and therefore the stuff needs to be done differently. Took me more time to figure out what works than actually adding stuff, but well... at least it's a start.
As it is a Wiki: Anyone may fell free to change written stuff if the change makes the text better (more comprehensible, more fitting the mood of the game, whatever). I will do the same to your contributions

Oh, I imagine there will be a lot of changes/additions to it. Wikis in the early stages can look rather messy. It took me forever to get used to the various free wikis out there.
I meant to ask. Does Magic Stones take place in the same universe as Loren, Spirited Heart, etc? It mentions taking place in the 'Kingdom of Aravorn'. If so, guess there is one other game for me to get/play.

Yes though being a strategy / card game there isn't really much "lore". Just that is set in Aravorn, and there's a Druid tournament. But I didn't specify where it happens or anything else
(that game was made back in 2005!)

Heh, call it the engineer in me, but I may include a little blurb on it. If nothing else, it can also show the change in the game world

I barely recognize the starting page I set up, after a few hours
Anyways, what happened to the page for Spirited Heart 2?

Hmm, the only thing I changed was I capitalized the H on Heart. Maybe it changed the contents as well. I will go to the reversions and copy it back.

Things happen... I wonder if there is a way of making the word/phrase used for linking independend of the displayed title? We sure will need this sooner or later.
And now I need to find out how to handle images so I can insert the timeline.

Handling images are always fun. I know I hope to get some pictures of the monsters, etc. up a bit later today.
And on that score, would it be better to put the Races of Aravorn into the Bestiary? I admit, my initial thought was the various 'races' would be a separate entry, though one could argue they could fit in the Bestiary (such as the Reptile Men and Cyclops).

You need first to click the "upload file" link on the left, and then when you edit in text mode there's a button to insert the image. I did that for this page:
http://aravorn.com/index.php?title=Geography_Of_Aravorn
the code to show thumbnail+caption was:

About the Bestiary, I like it, there could be both maybe? maybe the bestiary could also contain specific NPC / characters like Grob, Jul ?
Getting excited to see how it's coming along, I admit
thanks for the help!

Okay, that is the way to do it. And for that matter, it isn't that much to include the races links from the bestiary either. That is one good thing with a wiki. If the links are done right, one can easily cross each other.
And yep, specific NPCs like Grob, Jul, etc. will certainly be mentioned

I wasn't lying when I said I loved the world building aspects of your fantasy world
So, is it alright to assume you don't mind us loading up specific images of creatures, npcs, etc. onto the wiki?

Uargh, I have been looking and looking for such a button, but did not find it.
Maybe I go blind or something... Thanks.

Yes of course, go ahead

I had to look in google myself and browse the wikimedia site to find it

Not sure I'm comfortable with including Amazons with Humans, or even Nomads? Well, maybe Nomads. But Amazons, I feel, are their own beast. Dwarves are human-looking, but small. Amazons are human-looking, but big.

Yes I think we can consider them another race, even the snow elves are identical to normal elves apart skin/hair color

I was unsure whether the Amazons or Nomads would have been considered human or not. It makes sense to do so. By the same token, I made an unfilled category for half-elves. Draco proves his specialness
Also, I know only an Admin is allowed to delete images. There is one titled Loren01jpg.jpg I was trying to delete due to adding the extra jpg in the title. I swear to be more careful with such things in the future.
My idea was to create an entry after the Amazon description called Prominent Amazons, and obviously Loren, Karen, and Breza would be there.

Np deleted the wrong Loren image

Thank you very much. The only reason I even numbered them is I figured there may be more than one version put up in the future.
I do have a final question. Is there a preference on size for the pictures put up, especially on characters and monsters?
The Amukiki, Loren, Karen, and Breza I put up were on the smaller size than your Captain Daronas.
