Dunno why, but it reminds me a bit of...of...a deformed version of Europe going on to a Russia-only Asia. Caspian sea got huge and connected to red sea... Ok...there's nothing to do with Europe.

The Seven Cities are atheists while the Iberian Peninsula was one of the most religious places from Middle Ages to late Renaissance.Odish wrote:It is Europe: Heresh is Italy, The seven cities is kind of a mutated spain, the holy empire is France and Germany, Irollan and grimheim are the nordic states and england. Ranar and Thallan are the baltics+balkan and west Russia.
Irollan is too peaceful to be the Nordic countries.
The Balkans were part of the Byzantine and/or the Ottoman Empires for most of the past 2 millennia and were only in a fractured mess starting in the early modern times.
And yeah the Asians cultures in our world are not limited to Japan's... unlike Ashan's Hashima...
By the way... what are Orcs? Africans?

It doesn't look like Europe at all. The balkans are gone, Turkey is missing and, generally, the rightmost part is too thin to resemble anything. How can Irollan be England? Great Britain is an island. Seriously, it looks nothing like Europe!

Please tell me you are not from Europe, never seen a map of Europe or you are just kidding. Otherwise, take a look at Europe first and tell me where's the similarity. There isn't a large island west of the continent and even if we assume it's not an island any more -which is ridiculous- there's nothing to even resemble the general form of GB (the island isn't called England).

The devs have already confirmed that the inspiration for Ashan has been taken from mediaeval Europe. The shape of the landmass and distance between the respective locations are slightly different, of course, but culturally and geographically speaking, they used Europe as a template.

The peninsula like shape for a continent is taken from Europe for sure, no other "continent" on the planet looks like that...
They obviously just took a hammer and bashed the western parts with it... which is why the british isles are connected to the mainland and Iberia is splattered all over the place...
