In light of the upcoming movie I have had recent inspiration to develop a previously undeveloped area of my world after the Spartans. I'm just running into a little problem. How to effectively make them like the Spartans.
Historically, the Spartans did not value formal educaiton above military education until around age 60. This would make wizards (unless they are war wizards) impossible. As a DM, that is not a problem, but what if a player wants to play a Spartan Wizard? Does he basically have to be of old age?
Also, does anyone know the Spartan view on entertainment? What would be the view on Spartan bards or druids or even clerics?
Is my idea of an entire region based on Spartans even possible?
And in terms of everything, I am not looking to be 100% exact, but as close as possible to historical Spartans. Basically, I'm looking to combine real Spartans with the movie and make it playable and fun.
Any help? I know I can't be the only one
