| Re: Eddings' Nations
Well, the Chereks are obviously vikings, the Sendars idealised e**lishmen, the Drasnians are vaguely Lapps (Furs, reindeer) the Ulgos are vaguely jewish, ( closed theocratic society) one could go on. While none of Eddings nations are direct copies of 'Real,' ones, there is often a similarity. I always likened the drasnian pikemen to scottish infantry during the wars of independance. Eddings himself discusses the subject at length in "The Rivan Codex." |
