Fun with accents in Eberron

[blargney the second]

I was just having fun with my girlfriend assigning accents to the various nations in Eberron, based on historical analogies. Here are some of the better ones that came up:

Aundair: France. Wine, cheese, and espionage are their national foods.
Eldeen: Quebec. Just don't ask Oalian for a cabane a sucre.
Lhazaar: Denmark. Vikings! Need I say more?
Mror Holds: Switzerland. Banking dwarves with cuckoo clocks.
Thrane: Spain. Nobody expects the Thranish Inquisition!
Zilargo: Sicily. Never go up against a Sizilian when death is on the line!

Mror Holds: Switzerland. Banking dwarves with cuckoo clocks.

All dwarves have to be Scottish. It's a universal rule of fantasy.

Karnathi is Sooooo Germanic.
I imagine Breland is pretty British/American English, with a distinct New Yorker Sharn accent.
It might be neat to give the Shadow Marshes a faux oriental accent as well. "Wel-khom to deh Shah-dow Mah-shes."

I thought Thrane and Breland are both the US of A - the religious and secular parts. Wonder what Keith says on the subject, it would be good to know for sure.

Riedra: Russia. She's got huge tracts of... land.

Aundair - French-accented Canadians
Eldeen Reaches - English-accented Canadians ("So you're a Greensinger, eh?")
Thrane - Louisiana
Talenta and Valenar - Arizona
Shadow Marshes - India-accented English
Breland - Kansas on the countryside, Brooklyn in Sharn
Zilargo - Italian-accented English
Lhazaar - Spanish-accented English
Karrnath - Germanic-accented English
Mror Holds - Russian-accented English

Aundair - French-accented Canadians
Eldeen Reaches - English-accented Canadians ("So you're a Greensinger, eh?")

Well,

That would certainly explain why Aundair and the Reaches don't mix well.

Sigged.

Valenar: Mongolia. Genghis Moonbeam.
Darguun: Japan. Kamikaze bugbears.
