[quote=@Inkarnate] Well, as y’all know I do have some fantasy-oriented influences, too. I used to have a picture for a RP I never did in this setting of a girl holding a giant blue crystal in their hands, so that may be a resource I have to iron out for the setting proper. I’m influenced by Valkyria Chronicles and Izetta after all, though I don’t intend magic to really be a thing outright either. Maybe the crystals serve a similar utility to Ragnite in Valkyria Chronicles or are a resource entirely different from the petroleum/coal stand-in that it serves as in the games. Might need to be discussed or workshopped. [/quote] That could be interesting. Actually, that could be very interesting, especially if the history of the continent follows the path that seem to be common to these fantasies of having the Nordic influence over Europa be greater than the Roman one. PS: Plus it allows opens the doors for some anachronisms/very light fantasy that may be interesting.
