Hi Ray,
This may have been asked in the past, but what about the actual
cultures within your books?
As an example I feel the Trsurani were inspired by the Japanese. Is
this correct?
No. Not inspired. Rather you steal. I wanted a non-Norther/Western
Feudal European culture, so I made one up. The feudal structure is
Japanese, but the court and political reality is very Chinese. A lot
of the window dressing is Korean, with some Zulu military and Aztec
clan stuff tossed in.
And just as another follow up:
