[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9511326, member: 58172"] There are Muslims in Baklun, but not all of Baklun is Muslim. For example, Wegwiur and Chakyik have Baklunish origins but are Nonmuslim. (Even when 1980 employs the terms khan and tarkhan, these too are Nonmuslim.) Baklun is Asia, not a name of a religious tradition. I am confident, 2024 Greyhawk will discontinue the reference of "sultan" and "pasha" to polytheism. In the DMs Guide, none of the "gods of Greyhawk" refer to Baklunish. There is a mention of "temples" in Western Flanaess, which strictly speaking would Nonmuslim, but if used in popular sense for a building for people to pray, it might refer to a mosque. There are many different kinds of religions in Asia, and Hindu and Daoist styles of polytheism are presumably there too. In any case, I am sure the sultan and pasha will be some kind of fantasy monotheism. With regard to the Sultanate of Ekbir, its coat of arms can correspond central Asian Muslim-majority nations. With regard to the script, notice that this is the Persian language of Iran. [IMG alt="https://www.omniglot.com/images/langsamples/udhr_persian-cursive.gif"]https://www.omniglot.com/images/langsamples/udhr_persian-cursive.gif[/IMG] Both Kazakhstan and Tajikistan borrow from the Arabic script from the Quran, tho they also borrow the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. [USER=2209]@Voadam[/USER], in your page image, I notice "the town of Antalotol" might refer to Anatolia, namely a location for fantasy Turkiye Ottoman Empire, or perhaps a pre-Islamic Anatolia, for places like Troy. However, Anatolia is mountains, and its coasts are internationally significant. It is probably better to under stand the town as if "New Anatolia" far from the original, thus relating to the Pasha of Tusmit. [/QUOTE]
