I'll mix things up a bit but it will certainly have a viking/Norse influence.
Awesome, I'm writing my own mythos that is centralized on norse inspired settings. I would assume however, when you named it ''Nytt Voldenskagg'' that you were aiming for a translation for ''New Voldenskagg''. In swedish, when we speak about geographical locations, we use the word ''Nya''. So for instance ''New Zealand'' becomes ''Nya Zeeland'', or in this case ''Nya Voldenskagg''.
The names of the different kingdoms all try and have a similar ring to them. Zostrova obviously having more of an eastern European sound for its cities. Sanguinestos's cities are either Romanian or Hungarian words.
I would assume then that south Zostrova is basically like the Balkans and South Slavic nations?
I want to use medieval European cultures as the base and then change various things so they have their own unique features.
The first half of the story is far more focused on realism.
I'm trying to narrow down a time frame to use as a reference for how every day life is, what architecture is like, etc. Hovering around rougly the mid 13th to mid 14th century.
I think you've got a pretty damn solid foundation. Are you planning on keeping out monsters and crazy wildlife as well for the first half?
