We're goin' Roman then? I've always been a fan of Roman history. Not nearly as deeply as others, but I'm interested. It depends on the realm. Both Greece && Rome exist at the same time. Some realms are Greek; some are Roman. See the OP( original post): i've added a list ov all the Greek && Roman pantheon states, there. Hopefully, that clears things up. Prespos |

Though I believe that one of the pictures you've used is from the Sword of Truth book series by Terry Goodkind.
The only reason I recognize it is because I read the first three and paid some attention to new books.

The only reason I recognize it is because I read the first three and paid some attention to new books. Thank you for noting the origin of that image! Does the book take place on either Earth or "Fantasy Earth"? Can you provide a brief synopsis, as it might relate to Aerth? It's a nice painting, and, it's good to know that there is a story behind it. Prespos |
