Where is Praetoria
The lake around the city is man-made - it was flooded to help defend the city.

I was thinking, Praetorian Hamidon was the good version :P eating away evil, or what ever it does.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
So Hamidon and the Devouring Earth, can't swim? Where are the Rikits?

Also, both Primal and Praetorian Hamidon have the same motivation: the eradication of humanity, therefore both are evil.

Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!
To add to the fun/confusion, Mother Mayhem's hospital in First Ward looks like the Danvers State Mental Hospital in northeastern Massachusetts.
Though to be fair, Arkham Asylum is also deliberately modeled after Danvers State... because it was a hospital for the criminally insane built on top of the house of the chief judge at the Salem Witch Trials, had miles of tunnels beneath it, and was haunted.

Which is another neat little mirror universe reference - on Praetorian Earth, normal people are imprisoned in an asylum run by the criminally insane.

Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
I think it's somewhere in Europe, since the Praetorian counterpart to Excalibur is near First Ward.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Rikits? Do you mean Rikti? Apparently, for some reason, the Rikti never attacked Praetorian Earth, only Primal Earth.
|
On the other hand, both Praetoria and the Rikti believe Primal Earth fired the first shots of the war... which explains their brief alliance (or possibly just the Rikti taking advantage of a bad situation) in the Apex TF.
The Hydra are just a species the Rikti stumbled across during their hunt for Primal Earth, grabbed a whole bunch of, and dumped on Primal Earth. Who knows where they got Rikti Monkeys from. The Rikti are apparently generally quite a peaceful people, if a tad isolationist and xenophobic, unless provoked... then they try to absolutely annihilate their enemies.

Then how do you explain Excalibur?

Yup. Session 9. Sadly, the real Danvers State was demolished to put in apartment buildings back in 2006. ... several of which burned to the ground in a mysterious inferno in 2007.

Night Ward isn't a mirror dimension like Praetoria is to Primal Earth. The Excalibur he finds there is the Praetorian Excalibur, and it's explicitly stated that the reason it corrupts him when he gets it is because it was itself corrupted by Night Ward. From this we can reasonably infer that it was therefore NOT from Night Ward originally.

The Primal Excalibur was returned to the Lady of the Lake after Arthur died - and there's guarantee thatthe Praetorian Lady of the Lake would also be on the good side.

Ah. I did check it up on Paragonwiki and so, I deleted that post.

There is no Nemesis to instigate a war with an alternate Rikti Earth on Praetoria.
|
They'd still have the wrong instigator, mind, but at least they'd be closer to the mark.
(BTW, where is it established that the Rikti know of Praetoria? I have a Rikti/Praetoria AE story that's been germinating for some time, and it might affect how I eventually tell the tale.)
It is also possible that the Hamidon Wars led to the geography of the United States (And the world) being MASSIVELY transformed. I mean, look at Eden. If PRIMAL Hamidon could do that, what is the PRAETORIAN Hamidon capable of?
