LotC Cultures IRL

[Sander 3312]

What do you do if you're home early on christmas, don't rlly have anything to do and you're talking about LotC's cultures with people on skype? Probably not make a map of it, but I'm different.. So meh...
So here I got a rough map of where LotC's cultures take place IRL! Hope you like it, and don't get all nitty gritty about little mistakes or stuff I forgot xD



Orange = Batavian
Gray = Waldenian
Brown = Qalasheen
Bright Red = Akritian
Dark Yellow = Haensetic
Blue = Illatian
Deep Red = Norlandic
Purple = Savoyard
Bright Green = Lorrainian
Green = Daelish
Dark Green = Courlandic
Bright Yellow = Santegian
Dark Blue = Turkin
Bright Blue = Inhemho
Dark Brown/Red = Ruskan

Might've missed some, idk.

because it's a diverse and multicultural nation you bigot.

 

good map. auvgernian can go for france and kaedreni sorta for england i guess if you want to fill in some gaps. pasnian is dead but it can fill in blank poland if you want to count it.

I'm really not sure what culture Courland is. They're a heartland house, but in a highland environment. I'm pretty sure we were Swedish back in the day.

 

Also, few problems with your map. Iran isn't arabic, therefore not Qalasheen. Georgia and Armenia are very different culturally from Russia. Cossacks are pretty distinct from the rest of the Ruskan culture, so I'd probably throw them into separate groups.

He's probably inferring that Copenhagen culture is similar to Haensetic.

 

I've met a few errors here Sander

 

First of all, while Courland is named after the original courland in Latvia. It's culture is very English.

 

Santegia also derives some of its culture form France as Well as Spain. It's very basque.

 

Illatians also seem to be originally based off Spanish culture, although you could say they are based off Spanish Italy. (Naples, Sicily, Sardinia) Note, Norfhern Italy and Southern Italy are very different.

 

Qalasheen Farfolk are also Arab, not Northern Africa.

 

Norlanders in Denmark? This makes no sense, they just seem Norse to me. 

 

Anyway this is just my take on comparing the unoriginal lotc lore to real life lore.

Again, pardon the small mistakes xD

Might at some point make a revised version of this
