{{Geography of Wesnoth/Translations}}
= Irdya =

The name of the world in which the kingdom of Wesnoth is situated is "Irdya". This term is , however, only rarely used in the era depicted by the main map. People normally just say "the world" or, poetically, "the wide green world".

== Wesnoth and Surrounding Lands ==

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/wesnoth/trunk/data/core/images/maps/wesnoth.png

This map is current for approximately YW 450. Named cities were founded during the Golden Age of Wesnoth and have thus have existed for at least 200 years.

Place names in '''bold''' are marked on the main map.

* Major features:
** '''The Great Ocean''': Lies to the west of the continent and all rivers eventually flow to it.
** The '''Bay of Pearls''': The Elensefar Peninsula in the North and the '''Isle of Alduin''' in the southwest separate this from the Great Ocean. This is where human refugees from the Green Isle first landed in 1YW.
** '''Isle of Alduin''': Inhabited island off the west coast of the Great Continent. Home of the Great Academy of Magic and a traditional center of magecraft.
** '''The Three Sisters''': Group of three islands north-northwest of Alduin. The nearest is individually known as the Isle of the Damned and has an evil reputation.
** '''The Great River''': Runs east to west on the main map, unmarked.
** '''Ford of Abez''': Easternmost point at which the Great River can be crossed without ships. A traditional invasion route for armies crossing in either direction.
** '''River Weldyn''': Tributary running north from the '''Dulatus Hills''' to the '''Great River'''.
** River Aethen: River running from the '''Dulatus Hills''' to the '''Great Ocean''' through the '''Aethenwood'''.
** '''The Heart Mountains''': the major mountain range surrounding '''Lake Vrug'''.

=== Wesnoth ===
The Kingdom of Wesnoth is located in the north-central portion of the Great Continent. Most of the mainline campaigns revolve around it. It is bounded on the map by the '''Great River''' to the north, the shore of the '''Great Ocean''' to the west, the Aethenwood to the southwest, and the '''Bitter Swamp''' to the southeast (lower right corner of the main map).

Over the '''River Aethen''', south of '''Fort Tahn''', is a Wesnothian frontier region. It is bounded to the south (off-map) by dense woods of which the '''Aethenwood''' may be considered a northernmost extension.

* Notable cities:
** '''Weldyn''': The capital of Wesnoth.
** '''Aldril''': City lying on the Bay of Pearls.
** '''Blackwater Port''': City lying south of the Bay of Pearls.
** '''Carcyn''': Located between the Grey Woods and the Great River.
** '''Dan'Tonk''': Wesnoth's largest city, located in the center of the country, just west and north of Weldyn.
** '''Soradoc''': The northernmost border outpost of Wesnoth, controls the confluence of the Weldyn River and the Great River.
** '''Fort Tahn''': The southernmost border outpost, controls the north/south road crossing the River Aethen.
** '''Tath''': Important fort city north of Dan'Tonk, exerts control over the wilderness country around the east of the Brown Hills and north to the '''Ford of Abez'''.

* Notable land features:
** '''Gryphon Mountain''': Home of the fabled Gryphons
** '''Ford of Abez''': Shallow part of the Great River, it is usually controlled by Wesnothian forces
** '''Weldyn River''': It branches from the Great River and goes south
** Great Central Plain: Area bounded by Weldyn, Dan'Tonk, and Fort Tahn, this plain is Wesnoth's bread basket and home to most of its population
** '''Dulatus Hills''': These rolling hills bordering the Great Central Plain provide much of Wesnoth's livestock and agriculture
** Brown Hills: Wasteland surrounding Gryphon Mountain that is not well-populated and occasionally very dangerous.
** Horse Plains: Region of rolling plains just south of the '''Great River''', bounded by '''Glyn's Forest''' to the west and the '''River Weldyn''' to the east; the southern reach merges into the Central Plain. Home of the powerful Clans; the best horses in Wesnoth are bred here.
** '''Estmark Hills''': Largish range rising south of the Great River and east of the Weldyn River. The northernmost portion, nearest the '''River Weldyn''', has at various times been settled by Wesnothians, but the Kingdom's control is tenuous at best and banditry is common.
** '''Glyn's Forest''': Sometimes known as the Royal Forest, named for one of Haldric II's sons
** '''Gray Woods''': Large forest in the heart of the wilds of Wesnoth, located between Carcyn and Aldril and generally considered to be haunted
** Green Swamp: Large swamp in the heart of the wilds of Wesnoth, south of Aldril. It receives drainage from the Brown Hills and feeds into the Great River. (Not shown on the main map.)

=== Southwest Elven Lands ===
The Wood Elves are separate from those of the north, and have only intermittent relations with them and most other countries. Its borders are the Green Swamp to the northeast, the desert (not shown) to the south, and the Ocean to the west.
* Notable cities
** None known
* Notable land features:
** '''Aethen Forest''': The largest southern forest, it extends far to the southwest - much farther than is charted - and is home to elves

=== Elensefar ===
'''Elensefar''' is at times a province of Wesnoth, at times an independent country, and at times in a treaty federation with Wesnoth. Its borders are the Great River to the north, a loosely defined line with Wesnoth to the east, the Bay of Pearls to the south, and the ocean to the west. More information is found in the [[WesnothHistory|historical narrative]] of Wesnoth.

* Notable cities:
** '''Elensefar''': The capital, located on an island in the Great River delta
** '''Carcyn''': City on the Wesnoth-Elensefar border, disputed with Wesnoth
* Notable land features:
** '''Great River''': It is very wide at this point, and only ships can cross it.

=== Northlands ===

There is no government of the Northlands. Various groups of orcs, dwarves, barbarian men and even elves populate the region. The northern and eastern borders are not defined, the southern border is the '''Great River''', and the western border is the '''Great Ocean'''.

* Notable cities:
** '''Glamdrol''': An Orcish tribal capital
** '''Romyr''': Another Orcish tribal capital
** '''Wesmere''': The location of the Ka'lian - the Elvish Council
** Dwarven Doors: A mixed human/dwarven town in the region of Knalga in the southern Heart Mountains. A major trade center.
** Dallben and Delwyn: Human villages originally built by settlers who crossed the Great River during Wesnoth's Golden Age expansion. Now abandoned. The forested area northeast of '''Elensefar''', where these villages were located, was named the Annuvin province by men but was known by the elves as Wesmere.

* Notable land features:
** '''Heart Mountains''': A virtually impassable barrier between the river country and the Northern Plains.
** Heartfangs: the particularly forbidding stretch of high peaks southwest of '''Lake Vrug''' and north of the '''Forest of Wesmere'''. The most inhospitable and dangerous portion of the '''Heart Mountains'''; only hermits, madmen, and mages live there.
** '''Swamp of Dread''': a very large bog located between the '''Heart Mountains''' and the '''Great River'''. A notoriously dangerous place.
** '''Lake Vrug''': A large mountain lake whose river carves the only pathway through the Northern Mountains
** '''Arkan-thoria''': The river than comes out of Lake Vrug. This is the elvish name; among humans it is called Longlier.
** '''River Listra''': The south-running tributary of the Great River into which the '''Arkan-thoria''' empties.
** '''Lintanir Forest''': The southernmost portion of the Great Northern Forest, a gigantic wood whose eastern and northern boundaries are known only the elves. Their capitol, Elensiria, has only seldom been visited by humans.
** '''Great River''': The origin of this river is somewhere in the east of the northern lands

==== Wesmere====
The location of the Ka'lian - the Elvish Council in the Eastern part of the forest. The river Telfar flows through the forest. The Kal'ian is on an island in the Telfar. The River Telfar is crossed by the Northern Shallows, the Ford of Alyas, the Ford of Tifranur and the North Bridge. Villages surrounding the Ka'lian are named Telionath, Arthen, Arryn, Illissa, Viricon, Tireas, Essarn, Valcathra, Aelion, Elendor, Erethean. Other areas near the Ka'lian are Brightleaf Wood, Telfar Green (an opening in the forest), Dancer’s Green (an opening in the forest), Karmarth Hills, Westwind Wood (possibly the foothills of the Heart Mountains to the north east of Wesmere), Southwind Wood. East and outside are the forest are the villages of Dallben and Delwyn.

== Far North ==

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/wesnoth/trunk/data/campaigns/Son_Of_The_Black_Eye/images/farnorth.png

Cold, harsh, and inaccessible, the Far North is the ancestral home of the Orcish Clannate. It lies north of the Heart Mountains, which the Orcs call the Haggid-Dargor and claim (without merit) as their own. To the east lie the Unaligned Tribes of the Wild Steppe, who fell out of the control of the Clannate, instead roaming with wild human barbarians and clashing with the High Elves of the North Plains (known as North Elves in human lands). The High Elves themselves reside further east, where it is rumored they rule a vast kingdom.

** Barag Gor, a city home to the Orcish Council
** Bitok
** Borstep
** Castelfrang

== Campaign References ==

This section collates specific facts about geography asserted in the the text of mainline campaigns, implied by map dots (track) or by features on a battle map (map). It aims to be complete as to locations on the main map and identifiably adjacent to it. Two groups of off-map locations are confined to single campaigns, the Green Isle in ''The Rise of Wesnoth'' and the Far North in ''Son of the Black Eye''; those locations are not listed here.

=== Heir To The Throne ===

Konrad was raised in the '''Aethenwood''' (track, ''The Elves Besieged''). He returns to the mainland very near the location where Haldric the Great first landed in 1YW. (map, ''Bay of Pearls''). The fight with Muff Malal takes place on the peninsula north of the '''Bay of Pearls''' (track, ''Bay of Pearls''). The city of '''Elensefar''' is actually located on a large island in the mouth of the '''Great River''' (map, ''The Siege of Elensefar''). The crossroads fight takes place where the roads from '''Carcyn''', '''Dan'Tonk''' and '''Fort Tahn''' meet (track, ''Crossroads''). Konrad meets Li'sar on the road between '''Dan'Tonk''' and '''Carcyn''' (track, ''The Princess of Wesnoth''). Konrad fights undead in the Brown Hills southeast of '''Gryphon Mountain''' (track, ''Valley of Death''). The track for ''Gryphon Mountain'' unsurprisingly lands on the '''Gryphon Mountain''' map feature; equally unsurprisingly, the track for ''Ford of Abez'' lands on the '''Ford of Abez''' map feature.

North of the '''Great River''' this campaign is our basic textual evidence for several important features. The country around the easternmost tip of the '''Swamp of Dread''' is described as "abundant pine forests nestled in rolling foothills" (track and text, ''Northern Winter'') and, at least during the Turmoil of Asheviere, is inhabited by orcs. Dwarven Doors and Knalga are located in the center of the southern arm of the Heart Mountains, south-southeast of Lake Vrug (''The Dwarven Doors''). Lionel, the Lost General, is found in an orcish warren at the northern edge of the southern '''Heart Mountains''', north-northeast of Knalga and adjacent to the valley of the Arkan-thoria (''The Lost General''). Konrad re-encounters Li'sar north across that valley in the foothills of the northern '''Heart Mountains''' (track, ''Hasty Alliance''). The Scepter of Fire is found in those same foothills a bit further east and south, just north of the southernmost bend of the '''Arkan-thoria''' (''Scepter of Fire'').

Konrad's party travels southeast through the caverns, under the '''Arkan-thoria''', to just south of a northward bend of the river (''A Choice Must Be Made''). Kalenz says that this river is called 'Longlier' by men and 'Arkan-thoria' by the Elves. He further says that the homeland of his people lies to the east and north. Kalenz identifies their location at the easternmost edge of the southern '''Heart Mountains''' (track, ''Snow Plains'') as "...once the home of my people. We left here centuries ago" (text). In the next scenario, the North Elves are contacted at the confluence of the '''Arkan-thoria''' and the '''Listra''' (track, ''Home of the North Elves''). Konrad's party take refuge in Emetria, an Elven castle located just within the border of the southern lobe '''Lintanir Forest'''. ''The Elven Council'' takes place in the elven capital of Elensiria, location not specified.

Konrad crosses the '''Great River''' into Wesnoth just north of '''Soradoc''' (''Return to Wesnoth''). The country between the Elven forests and the river is inhabited by, among other things, "hermit mages" (text). He then crosses the river into the '''Estmark Hills''' hills east of the '''Weldyn River''' (track, ''Test of the Clans'').

Neither the '''Estmark Hills''', nor the '''Heart Mountains''', nor the swamp between them and the '''Great River''' are named in this campaign, but one scenario title refers to the latter as ''Swamp of Dread''.

Continuity problems: the map for 'The Princess of Wesnoth' is difficult to reconcile with the track location; the lake to the south should be large enough to show on the main map and is difficult to fit in a valley in the Brown Hills.
Likewise, the map for ''Home of the North Elves'' shows only an east-west river probably too small to be the '''Arkan-thoria''', and not the '''Listra''' that it should flow into.

The campaign maps feature [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CampaignDialogue:HttT#Labels map labels]

=== A Tale of Two Brothers ===

This campaign has a tracking map. In text, the village of Maghre is described as being in the "western reaches of Wesnoth" (''Rooting Out a Mage''). In ''The Chase'', the haunted forest is identified as the Gray Woods.

=== An Orcish Incursion ===

This campaign has a map and a journey track. No places are named other than '''Wesmere'''; the action takes place north and west of there. A pass that is bottleneck route through the northern mountains figures in the action.

=== The South Guard ===

This campaign takes place off the main map and has its own background map.

We know from it that the city of Westin is located southwest of '''Fort Tahn''' (track, ''Born To The Banner'') and is capital of the frontier province of Kerlath (text), also that the Aethenwood is to the west (text).

There is no map track after the second scenario. We learn that south of Westin , Kerlath is bounded by dense woods, "a bastion of the ancient heart forest of the Great Continent so dense and gloomy that even elves forbore from dwelling there."
(''Born to the Banner'') South of it an unspecified distance lies the elven Vale of Tears, and much further south of that the Black River, of which Etheliel says "No elf, still living, has crossed it."

The campaign maps feature [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CampaignDialogue:TSG#Labels map labels]

=== Liberty ===

This campaign uses a modified version of the main Wesnoth map for tracking. The map shows the villages of Dallben and Delwyn, and some small patches of forest, between the forest of Wesmere and the ocean; also it labels the '''Gray Woods'''. Text (''The Raid'') identifies this as the province of Annuvin, a frontier area of Wesnoth. It is clear that '''Elensefar''' is the chief city of Annuvin.

Baldras and his party travel south to '''Elensefar''' (track, ''A Strategy of Hope''). From there they go upriver to '''Carcyn''' (track, ''Hide And Seek''), and south to the '''Gray Woods''' (track, ''The Gray Woods''), then south on the road to ''Aldril''. The campaign finishes at '''Halstead'''. In the Epilogue, there is a reference to villagers fleeing southwest to settle on the '''Three Sisters'''.

The scenario maps feature [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CampaignDialogue:L#Labels map labels]

=== The Rise of Wesnoth ===

This campaign has its own tracking map for the Green Isle, which is our only actual source of information about the Green Isle's geography. The only Great Continent location of interest is the Ka'lian, which has the same location in the '''Forest of Wesmere''' that it does in other campaigns.

The lady Jessene uses the term "Old Continent" to describe the ancestral home of her people, and implies that it lies in "the far West".

=== The Legend of Wesmere ===
This campaign uses a [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/Geography_of_Wesnoth#LOW_Custom_Map modified version of the main Wesnoth map] for tracking. The map shows far fewer settlements with the notable addition of a castle settlement in the '''Swamp of Dread''', called '''Saurgrath''' (the location of ''The Saurian Treasury'').

The map track for ''Hostile Mountains'' shows Kalenz starting from the '''Lintanir Forest''' and moving across the easternmost '''Heart Mountains''' to a spot on the Arkan-thoria. They travel to '''Wesmere Forest''' (''The Ka'lian Under Attack''); the map tracking runs almost lengthwise through the '''Heart Mountains'''. The Ka'lian is near the northeast edge of '''Wesmere forest'''; the Elvish treasury is further west (track, ''The Elvish Treasury''). The Saurian treasury in the westernmost foothills of the '''Heart Mountains''' (track, ''The Saurian Treasury''); Kalenz and his men avoid the direct route from it back to Wesmere by going north from it and that they return via the eastern approaches to Wesmere. On the way, they re-encounter Olurf in the southeastern reaches of the '''Heart Mountains''' (''Acquaintance In Need''). They march back to the north edge of '''Wesmere Forest''' (track, ''Elves' Last Stand'').

In ''Council of Hard Choices'' we learn that the mage Crelanu lives in "the mountains of Thoria". The route north goes over the mountains to the "Arkan-thoria" (track: ''Bounty Hunters''), the name is confirmed in text. The mountains of Thoria themselves are just north of the valley of the '''Arkan-thoria''' (track, ''Cliffs of Thoria''). Crelanu's keep is well into the northern '''Heart Mountains''', right at the northern edge of the map (track, ''Battle of the Book'').

Kalenz and friends "return to the Ka'lian" (''News From The Front''); then to orcish forces are "encamped south of the '''Great River''', and have surrounded the fortified human settlement of Tath". The track for ''Breaking the Siege'' indicates that the killing of the Great Chief took place at the southeastern tip of the '''Heart Mountains''' and that ''Breaking the Siege'' takes place on the '''River Listra''', just north of the confluence with the '''Arkan-thoria'''.

The remaining scenarios convey no new information; the track points are all east of the '''River Listra''' between it and the '''Lintanir Forest'''.

Continuity problems: Kalenz's home map has big water to the east -- hard to fit to the track location.

=== Eastern Invasion ===

This campaign has its own map, with the River Guard outposts shown, and a tracking map. The intro describes the location of the River Guard posts on "the near bank of the Weldyn", alludes to trouble in the Estmarks, and refers to "raiders from the great desert", location unspecified.

One path from ''An Unexpected Appearance'' leads west, the other east (text). But the western path forces Gweddry and his men to travel north, into "known forest country just south of the Great River" (text). On the other branch, Mal-Ravanal's capitol is in the '''Bitter Swamp''' (''Mal-Ravanal's Capitol''); the party flees "west and north" until they find a "low pass in the Estmarks, and [are] greatly relieved to see the valley of the Weldyn open before them." (text). In ''Undead Crossing'', Gweddry's party crosses the '''Great River''' to the north (text). One of the following scenarios is named '''Lake Vrug'''. In ''Drowned Plains'' the party goes south to the '''Great River''', crosses it, and Owaec announces that they have entered the Horse Plains. '''Weldyn''' is on the map of the final scenario.

The Orc kings stronghold map has [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CampaignDialogue:EI#King_Dra-Nak.27s_City_.28labels.29 map labels]

=== The Hammer of Thursagan ===

This campaign has a tracking map. It begins at Knalga, and the heroes travel generally eastwards. There are no other specific geographical references in it, except to "the High Pass" about halfway between Knalga and Kal Kartha.

=== Descent Into Darkness ===

This campaign has a journey track, and a map on which the the "northern border town of Parthyn" (''Saving Parthyn'') appears. An eartly fight (''Orc War'') takes place near the river Longlier (the '''Arkan-thoria'''). This is denoted by a [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CampaignDialogue:DID#Places_.28labels.29 map label]. Later in the campaign (''Return To Parthyn'') it is specified that Malin follows a trail south across the '''Great River''' and west to Parthyn. Part of the action (''A Small Favor'' and three sequels) takes place in the city of '''Tath'''.

=== Scepter of Fire ===

This campaign has a tracking map.
The campaign begins in "the foothills of Knalga" (text, ''A Bargain Is Struck'') when Haldric II rides north from there from the '''Ford of Abez'''. Rugnur looks for Thursagan in "the northern wastelands", which is near the coast north-northeast of Rumyr (''Searching for the Runecrafter''). Much of the rest of the campaign takes place in the old eastern mines just north of the Arkan-thoria; this is where the Scepter will be found in ''Heir To The Throne''. Alanin's running battle with the outriders takes place just north of the '''Ford of Abez''' (track, ''Outriding the Outriders'').

(Note: earlier versions of SoF were set in a completely different location in the far western foothills of the Heart Mountains. This was an error by some hapless chronicler.)

=== Son Of The Black Eye ===

This campaign takes place off the northern edge of the main map and has its own tracking map (see "The Far North") above. There is no reference to anywhere on the main map other than Dwarven Doors, and that does not indicate either distance or direction.

=== Dead Water ===

This campaign has a tracking map. It takes place on and near the coast of the Far North; the port city of Tirigaz, mentioned in '''Son of the Black-Eye''', is a locale of one scenario. We learn that one of the small islands off the coast is called Bilheld and is inhabited by drakes.

=== Delfador's Memoirs ===

This campaign has a tracking map. Its scenario locations are in general well known from other campaigns. The campaing maps feature some [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CampaignDialogue:DM#Places_.28labels.29 map labels]

=== Northern Rebirth ===

This campaign has a tracking map. It begins in Dwarven Doors. No distances or directions to places elsewhere in canon are indicated.

=== Under The Burning Suns ===

This campaign has no tracking map. It takes place long after the fall of Wesnoth and none of its locations can be clearly tied to anywhere in the main map.

</div>

建起一支大军，把新兵蛋子锻炼成铁血老兵。在之后的游戏中，召回你最坚韧的战士，组成一支谁也无法阻挡的致命铁旅！从列表中挑选优势单位，用亲手组建的力量去战胜不同地形上不同的敌人。

'''韦诺'''有着许多不同传奇等着你去经历。为夺回韦诺王座而战斗，你是合法的继承人……跟随一个年轻军官的步伐，去守卫一个不再平静的边疆哨所……为了团结兽人部落，踏上一条无情的征途……打败由一个邪恶巫师召唤出的成群亡灵，只因他碰巧绑了你弟弟作人质……领导一群精灵幸存者，踏上寻找新家园的史诗般旅途……用巫师的邪恶法术向兽人复仇……

游戏里有不下两百种单位、十六个种族、六个主要派系，还有几百年的历史。 '''韦诺'''的世界绝对巨大，只由你的创造力所限制——定制你自己的单位，制作你自己的地图，编写你自己的场景甚至成熟的战役。你也能挑战最多八个朋友——或是陌生人——在史诗般的'''多人游戏'''奇幻战役中战斗。

</div>

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host whom none can stand against! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

'''韦诺''' has many different sagas waiting to be played. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... lead a brutal quest to unite the orcish tribes... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home... get revenge on the orcs by using the foul art of necromancy...

There are at least two hundred unit types, sixteen races, six major factions, and hundreds of years of history. The world of ''Wesnoth'' is absolutely huge and only limited by your creativity — make your own custom units, create your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to eight friends—or strangers—and fight in epic ''multiplayer'' fantasy battles.

欢迎来到韦诺之战下载页。韦诺之战项目团队只发布官方源代码。二进制包由社区志愿者提供并在此存档。BT种子也是非官方的。

如果对应你操作系统的最新二进制可执行文件没有提供，请过几天再来查看是否发布。打包者已经被通知了这个发布，请保持耐心。在此期间，请阅读[[FAQ#A_new_version_is_out.2C_but_where_is_the_download_for_.5BWindows.2C_Mac_OS.2C_etc..5D.3F|常见问题]]。

== 稳定版（1.10 分支） ==
稳定版文件意味着被用来作为一个稳定且平衡的游戏版本。1.10分支的每一个版本相互兼容。

版本1.10.5是最新的稳定版。这个版本推荐给绝大多数玩家，因为1.10在线多人游戏社区很庞大，而且用户自制战役服务器也有很好的内容选择。

== 开发版（1.11分支） ==
版本1.11.x 是最新的开发版，拥有升级的图像和令人兴奋的新特性。然而，在开发版里可能有偶尔的错误或性能问题，因为总是有着很多大的修改。为了平衡和稳定地游戏，强烈推荐你使用1.10.x分支的最新版。开发版是推荐给程序员和战役开发者，也给那些想要预览韦诺新特性的人。熟悉SVN和编译的人可以从[[WesnothSVN]]中检出最新的开发版。

对创作自己的场景和战役感兴趣？韦诺最引人入胜的特点之一就是它的可扩展性。
玩家可以创建新地图、单位、种族、场景、图像、音乐甚至完整的战役。

接触游戏的”内部秘密“既是简单又是困难的；你只需要一个 UTF-8文本编辑器就足以创建你自己的世界。不过学习韦诺标记语言Wesnoth Markup Language (WML)很耗费精力。本章将会指引创作和发布你自己的内容的过程。

同时要注意的是，'''在韦诺核心的美工方面我们需要大量帮助。''' 我们正在工作的非即时项目表[http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2014&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= 列于此]. 如果你也把自己的问题放在里面，我们很乐于帮助你。

== 先读这个！ ==
在你修改或在添加任何东西前，去了解游戏如何储存和组织数据是很重要的。这篇文章会解释游戏目录结构，并介绍”用户数据userdata“ 目录。
