All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXI
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXI
Regarding the pending edit for the Ror Empire, it’s a bit curious. I don’t care if it’s notable or not (As is policy), but if it’s not real (And not stated to be mythical or the like), would it be a barrier to acceptance of a useful notes page? I’m not really sure how to approach this as is - I would be a lot more comfortable if there was at least a single depiction in media to back up the claims made. (At least as a setting). I would love to be proven wrong.

Additional Info:

It claims to be an ancient empire that lasted for about a thousand years spanning part or all of what is modern day Pakistan and India (?), and yet I can’t find a single reliable English language source for its existence (A Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons page without sources is iffy). It also claims the empire had one emperor who lived for its duration, but such claims of long life are not uncommon for ancient figures.

While English language scholarship of many places outside the global north is lacking, I doubt they would miss such an empire that lasted so long and covered so much land, especially when it well could have likely come into contact and conflict with Alexander the Great given the claimed times and territorial extent. The Hindi Wikipedia also seems skeptical of its verifiability, though I am relying on translation software to understand it, and there is possibly nuance I am missing.
