Rhapsody is completely missing from both wikis, which is absurd as all other champs on it...

updated some entries on the wiki

considering that :rhap: is a relatively new hero, it's easier to check out her actual hero page instead. :P

though you are right, the lore section do need more works

I searched the lore forums but could not find it or maybe i am bad at it. Is there a map of newearth ? Something that might give me an ideea of how the factions are located. Something like George RR has at the beggining of every Songs of Ice and Fire books ? It could be updated as the years pass with content and lore. Also it would be nice to have more than 2 sub factions on each side like The Human Empire led by Jereziah,The Beast Horde led by Ophelia and The Golden Empire led by Midas (the new gladiator avatar might have a place here, Nomad also etc) that represent the Legion. Not gonna go into to much detail I think you get my point from here onwards.

No official map no, but we have a very well done fan made map, which you can use for reference: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?415557-Map-of-Newerth-fan-made

Wow this is pretty sweet. Thx man it helps me a lot. The areas and names of heroes i wrote about are custom made would that be a problem or would those have some spots on this map or should i refer only to these locations shown here ?

Your welcome. Well if you want to use the map as visual reference, I guess you have to change your story according to it. Wouldn't make much sense to change a map that is supposed to be as close as possible to canon, in favour of a fan-written short story, wouldn't it? :)

However it also depends on how large your places are, if you, let's say, only mention a village's name or the name of some hidden cave, you can of course keep that. You'd only have to change the bigger things like cities, mountain ranges, forests, bigger rivers and such. That may also makes it easier for the reader to visualize your story. In the end it's up to you though, it's your story after all. (hmm I'm having a déjà vu, I think I have told someone else the exact same thing not too long ago)
