[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8746598, member: 11760"] Each adventure is set in a different setting, each of which is largely inspired by a different real life culture, like the Philippines, Korea, pre-colonial Meso-America, etc. The [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wNYbNh0vBA']Fiend of Hollow Mine[/URL] is a fourth-level adventure set in and around the city of San Citlan, a fantasy version of post-colonial Mexico. (It gets a lot more complexity and becomes a lot more than just fantasy Mexico in the Journeys Beyond the Radiant Citadel PDF on the DMs Guild.) No, it's not "just" fantasy Mexico, and in fact, it very interestingly doesn't have a major religion dominating much of the cultural life of San Citlan, which is a distinct break with the real-life Mexico. But much of the setting, the iconography, the events of the story, the new monster, etc., are all drawn from Mexican folklore and history. Honestly, San Citlan is so far the best setting in the book, one I could easily running a fairly conventional open-ended campaign in. There's obviously a strong chance we'll never see the Radiant Citadel settings again, other than a mention of the Radiant Citadel in future planar books, but I really, really hope that doesn't happen with San Citlan.
