[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8518584, member: 6704184"] Yeah, I usually simplify for these discussions, but when I say “halflings do X”, what I mean is that cultures that are founded by or culturally dominated by halflings do X”. Only a couple places are even 70+% one race, and one of [I]those, Albarona, [/I]has only been that way for about 50 years, since the Divine Queen Isabella and her Prince Ferdinando Patricio united the rival kingdoms and provinces of the [I]Peninsula de los Leone [/I](I think I’ve got the Spanish grammar wrong, but I’m not at home to check my notes) into the Empire of Albarona, and displaced many minority populations in the process. Basically, the Spanish Reconquista filtered through romantic works like Guy Gavriel Kay’s [I]Lions of Al-Rassan. And even there, [/I]there are areas of a strong remaining psuedo- Andalusian and Sephardic influence in the region. Nice. I’ve been tinkering with the idea of a mid19th Century inspired setting. I like the idea of a given world not existing on the same tech level all at once, unless it’s far future, so I might have a region with multiple larger landmasses similar to the islands of Indonesia, where there is naturally less magic users and fewer fonts of magic in general, and tech has developed much faster than in other regions as a result.
