A note on accuracy. The facts in this guide were checked against English Wikipedia and the sources it cites. Each scene's Wikipedia pages are listed in the Sources tab beside the story, and the notes say which parts come from the famous novel rather than from history. History from 1,800 years ago is patchy: exact numbers, dates, quotes and who-said-what often differ between books, and some details may be off. The shape of the story is as told here.
