Thank you, I really was looking for titles for people, this will help alot. I will use the flag as well because I couldnt find a correct era appropriate flag, thanks!

P.S. I don't actually speak Georgian so i cant read the link to the list of kings, (I already know most, but it still would be good to have) If you could find one in English that would be a huge help.

thanks,

Taz

"Alans" are just tribes. They had no leader . (There is nothing in internet) I searched in Russian wikipedia too but nothing was written about their leader.
In 1062-1068 and 1080-1122 years Tbilisi was controlled by Georgian priests (Tbilisi had no lord).
In (1014-1037) years Kvirike III was the leader of Kakheti.In 1104 year david the builder attached Kakheti to the Kingdom of Georgia.

CenturionTaz · Oct 20, 2014

Thank you so much for that, that actually really helps because they are a tricky one to find. I have a new member to the team and his name is SaxonSonny. He is the new map maker, and he is working as we speak on it. I will soon be posting the preliminary images for it so that you guys can get a glimpse of it. We finally are starting to move forward to truly make this its own mod!
