[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8463993, member: 6802378"] Here it is not the best place to talk about History, but we can mention as certain points of view about History are showed with certain tropes in the speculative fiction, for example 7th Sea, the RPG (now by Chaosium) or the vampires wearing[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morion_(helmet)'] morions[/URL] in Itxalan, the world of Magic: the Setting.
