My thoughts on the racial groups (as I view them as that more-so than individual nations).

SHERGAL: The Shergal peoples would closely resemble the Norse cultures, both in physical looks as well as cultural views. The Harsh northern regions and rugged coastlines would be reflected in their world views.

AKRON: These peoples would be like the Western Germanic peoples Mixed with the Spanish and some Mediteranian like the Greeks, Minoans and such.

ORVAELOS: I see these peoples as closely resembling the Arabian Cultures. Think Sinbad, and Ali Babba and the rest.

LINGEMERD: Here we have the Slavick peoples of the Russian Steppes.

BRINSMERD: The Mongols of our World. A harsh land of steppes, scrubland, vast forrests and harsh living.

GROAM: A dying people, in the midst of the plague lands, they are fast losing their cultural identity as they forsake their current beliefs searching for an explanation to the crisis besetting them.
