Maybe give them only a marginal role in the setting, but dude, just stick 'em in if you want to have 'em in there.I, too, write up cultures for my homebrew campaign setting Ascension: Paths of Power, and since once I get through university I plan to be a prof of Western Civ, I share a big intrest in this sort of stuff. My CS is set in a europe-like setting set in our equivalent of 1050 C.E. that has two assumptions: every myth, folktale, legend and religios story is true, and that Tolkienisms apply throughout. So, I have Tolkien-esque dwarves which fight Sianachs from celtic myths and folklore. I have Tolkien-esque Orcs who try to control lands held by Nordic Storm and Frost Giants. Stuff like that. I have a psuedo post-celtic area which was not over-run by "anglo-saxon" invaders et al, and thus retains much of that flavour and culture; I have a norse region/nation with great shipwrights and warriors; etc etc. It's a lot of fun and quite rewarding <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />cheers,--N</blockquote>
