Encyclopedia Revision for TSG: Re-Revised (#9253)

Browse Source 
An encyclopedia revision partially for TSG: Re-Revised:

    Explain BF (Before the Fall) in the calendar page. This is not used in mainline, but appears in the game’s code and can be be used by UMC or future mainline content.

    Made spacing throughout the encyclopedia consistent.

    Added a detail on Mount Morogor being the highest active volcano in Morogor, not just a random volcano. This makes it appear more sensible that it is included.

    Added the Island of Gaall and Isle of Omarath to Morogor, shown WoF. IIRC no other islands in Morogor are named in WoF.

    Mentioned Kerlath and the Far South at the end of the Wesnoth description.

    Removed reference to Blackmore being Wesfolk to prevent contradicting certain add-ons

    Clarified Kerlath is the southernmost province in the Westin description, not just a southern province.

    Added Southport to the Wesnoth section from the TSG Re-Revision.

    Mentioned farmland in the periphery of Elensefar, mostly to fix a minor nagging lore inconsistency where Elensefar is always shown on the island in the Great River in scenario maps, but is shown south of it in the large map of Wesnoth. Since there are usually some village around Elensefar, some farmland made sense.

    Removed the Southwood due to its removal from the TSG Re-Revision.

    Added the Vale of Blossoming Trees and Lake Aelin to the section on Southwestern Elves.

    Replaced "men" with "humans" in the Northlands description, which I accidentally copied from the old description. I see no reason for this not being gender-neutral. (Actually, these small changes could be merged separately earlier)

    Mentioned Saurgrath in the Northlands.

    Replaced Bay fo Jotha in Jotha’s descriotion with “South of Bitok”

    Added a description of the Mourned Hills which mentions Lmarig, as suggested by CelticMinstrel

    Added the Acanclave Citadel in the Far North from the MP Map

    Remove explicit mention of Dunefolk in the Far South and mainline Isanbar and the Ashland Desert.

The Wesnothian calendar begins with the founding of Wesnoth in the year 1 YW (Year of Wesnoth). Years before that are counted based on the number of years before the founding of Wesnoth using BW (Before Wesnoth). After the Fall of Wesnoth dates use AF (After the Fall)."
