Valley of the Kings

[Havard]

Well sure, you can change anything to whatever you like and that's all good. I'm trying to make sense of what the thinking was behind what was actually written here.

I mean it is clearly saying Thonian nobles ruled over the "kingdom of Blackmoor" at a time when both "The bloodline" and "the valley of the kings" were strong - whatever they mean.

Just to clarify, I don't see it as me changing it. I think that is what Dave Arneson meant. Possibly a result of editing his own texts to remove references to The Great Kingdom.

There's really no period in canon Blackmoor history that can mesh with that.

The only thing I can think of that might work is the first century or two right after Robert I. There is nothing that tells us what happened next. We sort of assume that's when the baron's come in, but it could be that Blackmoor is set up as a kingdom initially but later falls apart. That may explain why Ra-all can be made a king while Blackmoor is seemingly still a part of the GK.

Hmm. The crowns of Tonisborg might have some role to play here. Have to think about it.
