...Hello? Is anything happening with this? I hope it's not dead. I still have 1.103 on my computer for this, but I'd love to see it updated.

atdoan said (in this thread) that he is burned out from modding. He might as well reappear at some point, though.
And there's always the possibility of someone making a quick compatibility patch for the current CK2 version, like what happened with Elder Kings.
Just chiming in to say that I hope this is just on hiatus. Had a lot of fun with this before the new patch came out.
1) Redownload.
2) Mod is not updated. Unless you're planning on com patching it yourself, you won't be able to do anything with it.
18 days between the last round of posts and new.
I wouldn't call that thread necromancy (which, might I say, is one of the few correct usages of the word "Necromancy" in popular culture)
I don't think that the thread-necromancy rules apply to mods.
That being said:
One of you fans of the mod should consider to update this mod for 2.0; Sonendar is fairly light-weight in comparison to let's say EK so it'll be perfectly doable even for somebody that isn't yet familiar with modding. atdoan stated that he is burnt out from modding so he might not do it himself in the near future.
I think I could give it a shot. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but I could try.
I'm not dead! The latest patches just sort of broke it and I don't ... really... know how to fix things. Help would be appreciated!!
Here's Sonendar v.1.05.3-alpha if any enterprising would-be modders want to try their skill at cracking this.
If you're "okay" with playing with these particular (severe) oddities, well, best of luck to you! But all the problems introduced in compatibility with patch 1.11 and now 2.0 are the real reason (plus a very busy grad school/work schedule) why I haven't updated this in months.
Issues:
-Why are the provinces mostly "no religion"? I have it defined for every province in all the history files. This is a big stumper, and my main problem here.
-Norrgods events are broken somehow. Putting them in causes the "blank events" problem. But I can't see why, all the brackets are closed! You can see it here: http://pastebin.com/vvJEANxC
Oh yes, another news thing. I've been participating in "NaNoManGo". If you've ever heard of "NaNoWriMo"-- National Novel Writing Month-- the idea is to basically write 50,000 words of a novel all in one go, in a single month. Well, NaNoManGo is the comic equivalent-- at least roughly pencil 30 pages of comic in one month.
Anyways, I've been drawing a story based on the Sonendar setting, but accelerated about 800 years into the future, set during the beginning of Sonendar's Industrial Revolution era. Think "Sonendar -- Victoria II edition!" with some minor geographical changes. The story centers around Almeria Athenia I, the 18-year old queen of Zuhrenheim, who returns from an education in the modernized Yuan Empire (by 5012 known as "The Thousand Year Heavenly Republic"), convinced that the way forward for her tiny, impoverished Reichsmarch country, is to embrace the Industrial Revolution and Easternize...
By the way, if you're wondering why the byline is different, DrSunshine is the handle I typically use elsewhere. If you're into the setting, you can check it out. Be warned, however, that the comic is quite roughly penciled in parts -- I haven't had time to completely ink most pages, and the 30 pages-30 days schedule is incredibly tough. Also, I draw in a pretty manga-esque style so if it's not your thing, you may want to pass.

Sort of! I'm going to see if I can fix the problems atdoan listed. And I, for one, hope I succeed. So I can play this mod.
I hope so, too! The absolute lack of functioning non-earth maps for CK2 is really unfortunate, and this mod was a great balm to that.
For the religion issue, I was poking through your files and noticed that two things present in vanilla religions after patch 2.0 - the parameters of "evil_god_names" and "priest_title" - are absent. Perhaps that's causing the game to not read the religions correctly? If that's true, it may impact the norrgods event chain if the religion is used somewhere in the events, though I can't see any instances of that.
Hope this helps! This is a fun mod, and while trying to create my own fantasy mod for eventual release has filled up the time somewhat, I'd love to see this up-to-date and playable again
Tangentially, the comic is great, too.
