Riombara hates Xween. It was all a conspiracy.

Those Xweenies were some good fighters. The backbone of our army.

*sniff*

I'm gonna miss those guys...   :'(

Thank the gods I never had to live with such a region. Now if we could manage to see Dantooine, Mattan Dews and Kid's Rock suffer the same fate in Dwilight...

No, there were definitely regions north of what's there. Compare it to the map of Atamara and you'll see what I mean.


Correct. Not many, but something like 4 regions or so were lost in the icy north-east.

Mattan Dews

BWAHAHAHAHA I just got that.
When Thalmarkans walked through the Sint land, castles went up for sale.

No, you *think* you got it. But you'd be wrong.

It's because of Matt Andews or something like that, but it really sounds like Mountain Dew.

Yeah, I used to think it was named after Mountain Dew, too, until someone else pointed out that it was named after a player named Matt Andrews.  ;D

So do you know what was so special about him to get a region named after him?

He helped with drawing the map, or some part of the creation of it anyway.

The cities of Darfix and Giask are also named after players.

* Darfix is named after the player Darfix Panzer. He drew the original map in MS Paint, of all things, using bits and pieces of the maps of the other continents.
* Giask was named after Giask Kay Lee, also known as Gsklee. He drew up the original regional boundaries. He also created the FameBox templates for the wiki, and founded the Flow of the Balance on EC. He also came up with the name Dwilight. (Or, rather, Tom merger two of Gias Kay's suggestions to make the final name.)
* Matt Andrews refined the initial geography to come up with the final map. (Dwilight Trivia: Some of you may remember the wacky map that first showed up for Dwilight when Tom put the new dynamic map online. That was the original draft Darfix made. The final one you see now was done by Matt Andrews.)

I still don't get it.

Exactly half of my Kudos to each Dwilight contributor.  All three deserve it.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.
