[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9630290, member: 2209"] I have a bunch of fantasy analogue stuff in my mashup homebrew setting and this includes some historic events and movements and not just specific setting elements like fantasy vikings or fantasy ancient Egypt. Alexandros the Great conquered most of the world and we now have common throughout the lengths of his old empire even though it split into tons of kingdoms since. The Fantasy Egypt Osirion in my homebrew mashup used to be an elven super power but fell into decline. After Alexandros conquered it there was a line of human pharaohs who completely went native Osirion including speaking elvish. eventually the area came under fantasy Arab Qadiran control but still a huge cultural reverence for the ancient Osirion elvish pyramids and stuff among the natives of the area. The current Holy Lothian Empire theocratic civil war in my game has both a civil and religious aspect as the head of the church tries to assert control over both the political empire and assert controls over the bishops of spread out bishoprics who declare their own autonomous authority within their bishoprics. Various claimants to the imperial throne support or go against this theology split on either side. So there is the Catholic Protestant overtones as well as the early church split of Orthodox Churches from Catholicism. [/QUOTE]
