First off, here’s the real-life distance between Mount Othrys and Mount Olympus. (Othrys being the bottom one)
Strangely, Mount Olympus is further north than Mount Othrys.
You may think this means AO is flipped upside-down this however does not parallel Pelion Mountain.
yeah, I had no idea, but Pelion Rift is actually just a mountain.
As you may expect, Athens is also near here, because it is Greece. So strangely, the War Seas have more positional significance than the Seven Seas.
Of course, we have Rome not too far northwest from Greece, and Egypt a decent way south.
Egypt and Rome both parallel Sameria and Ravenna respectively.
This could be unfounded, but the similarities of Sameria, Sabura, and Savaria, all being based on Egypt, could mean that the Seven Seas are actually south of the War Seas, and not too far south at that.
We have here, Norway. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Norse Mythology is based in Norway.
It seems to me that the various cultures simply made back what they lost in the nearest remaining inhabitable area, which is what lead to there being three Egypts.
I can’t think of a parallel to Redwake, so it would seem they’re a bit new to existing.
I’m also not sure what Winterveil would be all about, so they’re probably newcomers too.
