    Default Where is Dumatha?

    On my campaign map there isn't any trace of Dumatha, the capital of Arabia, as seen on https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/eb_map_080_plain.gif.
    What is the problem? Something wrong with my installation?Besides Arabia is named Eremos, just as the Sahara, what does it mean?

    Thanks everybody for info

    Removed in this version. The new 'capital of this 'province' is on an unreachable spot in the lower right corner of the Sahara.

    I've been wondering the same thing, a lot of mods in different time periods seem to use Dumatha in Arabia so I was thinking it might have been from a story or legend, I was also wondering how the team came up with Terhazza.

    Edit: Terhazza exists, it's a city in Mali.
    Also found this, on the Polish version of the same page it has Terhazza written next to Taghaza so I believe them to be the same thing.

    There was an ancient qedarite city, probably even the capital. The Assyrian name was adumatta, these days it's known as al-jawf. I bet they meant this one.

    yes it did. in fact, it still does.

    in Arabic, the name (in classical arabic) is Dumah. (or Dumatu ul-jandal).
