Havard Wrote:Geneva is a reference to the old C&C Society Map. Rob Kuntz was based on Geneva and ruled the Great Kingdom. He was "king" of the C&C Society.

Dave recognized King Robert as founder of the Kingdom as a nod to his friend Rob Kuntz...
King Robert founded the Thonian Empire/Great Kingdom ...

Thanks for the reference Havard, I had forgotton there was that much info from DB #13 on the Acaeum.
The RW background is meta game stuff that I'd prefer not to draw too much from. What I'm looking at is "in game", Robert is King of "all Geneva" and I think you mentioned a reference to "Empire of Geneva" in some materials from Mr. Meyer. In a meta sense "because we know" we associate Robert I with Rob Kuntz and the C&C society with the "Great Kingdom" so Robert I gets thought of by us as high potentate and fouder of the Thonian empire.
But, in an "in game" sense I don't see anything suggesting Geneva - however vague and meaningless it was, was meant to be the Great Kingdom, in whole or in part, or that Robert I had anything to do with the Great Kingdom. The two are neve3r linked except in a meta sense, and that might just be an assumption on our part. Maybe there's some statement in an interview somewhere I've missed?
