This is what happens when you have one of the first LCD's in the world... Really, I typed that from a very bad LCD, and the characters are weird.

Yes, Massalia is in France. Might be an option, but AFAIK, I don't know if they were such a big kingdom at the start of EB. Correct me if I am wrong.

No.
