Who are the Amindii?

[rancke]

Regina should NOT have a G in 1105. Regina gets the G in 1115.

I take that to refer to Regina getting an archduke in 1115[*], but it isn't Regina that gets an archduke when Norris promotes himself to archduke in 1117, it's Mora. Norris chooses Mora as the Domain capital; Regina remains a mere duchy capital.

[*] Which is a bit ahead of the actual "historical" events of the OTU, isn't it? Though it could be true for the GTU :devil:​

otu, 1116. Moves to Mora Later. "Duchy Capital" is a GURPSism BTW. ,"Subsector Capital" is used everywhere else. (T5 doesn't even have the word "Duchy" in it at all!)

otu, 1116.

Possibly 1116. Depends on how fast the news reaches the dukes of the domain and how long it takes for Norris to persuade them to back his forgery.

Moves to Mora Later.

I suppose one could argue that formally Regina becomes the domain capital until Norris can get around to creating a domain administration. I don't think it has been stated anywhere in canon, but I could be wrong. I know there is a map that shows Regina as the sector capital (which would be wrong in any case) and that there is some fanon that attempts to explain that based on Norris self-elevation.

"Duchy Capital" is a GURPSism BTW. ,"Subsector Capital" is used everywhere else. (T5 doesn't even have the word "Duchy" in it at all!)

Actually, I believe it is a Hansism. Based on the canonical fact that not all subsectors are duchies and some duchies include more than one subsector, I've tried to promote the habit of distinguishing between duchies and subsectors, even if in many cases they are synonymous. Because in some cases they're not.

Just because the term 'Duchy capital' is never used doesn't mean that duchies don't have capitals. Nor is a subsector capital always a duchy capital. Aramis, Jewell, Vilis, Lanth, and Iderati are all subsector capitals but none of them are duchy capitals. Regina, Rhylanor, Mora, Trin, Lunion, and Glisten are all capitals of duchies, so they would be duchy capitals.

(Incidentally, being a GTism is not the devastating indictment you appear to believe it is.)

It certaily Ain't an OTUism. Subsector capitals are what are mentioned in canon.

Well, as Don has informed you, if something is mentioned in GT material, he treats it as canon unless it has been explicitly disavowed by Marc (Or contradicts other parts of canon, of course). I'm not sure duchy capitals are mentioned in any GT material, but the question is moot, since I'm not using the term based on any use in any material, GT or any other version. As I said in the bit you snipped:

I tend to agree. The Sectors and Subsectors thing is a hugely artificial conceit for gameplay and administration. As implemented, it doesn't make much sense (same as the 2D map) in the internal logic of the game universe. These are meta-game elements.

Maybe someone should add a page as there isn't one at this point?

Create the page "Amindii" on this wiki!

I want to know what else Marc has in mind for them before I go to such trouble. But feel free to do it yourself. Anyone can edit the wiki.
