I was trying to come up with some kind of creation/origin story for my fantasy world as it exists in the main part of the story, and have run into a bit of a race issue. I was thinking it would be cool if there were different hollows in this world that were each run by a family and had an animal emblem/representation, and the way that came to be was that there were individuals who were led from the ordinary world into the magical world by each of these animals, and those individuals started those families and used the animal that led them as their emblem.
The problem with this is that because my world TAKES PLACE ON EARTH and INVOLVES A PORTAL TO THIS MAGICAL WORLD and is going to be euro-america-U.K.-ish (Just cause that's who I am and what I understand and relate to), the only way for that origin story to make sense is if they were a bunch of white people all chosen by these animals to be taken to this magical land...that just feels weird, right? Like, here, white people, you are the chosen ones and you will be taken to this magical european land just for you...if this world that takes place on earth is basically just Euro-fantasy-dom, it's gonna feel like I'm ignoring the rest of the world...any ideas?
