Marignon was originally thought of as a southern France, northern Spain kind of nation; the albigensian crusade and the spanish inquisition; but considering the LA developments I'd say it is slightly more spanish then french. OTOH there is nothing that says that capitlas and cultures don't shift geographically.

And Marverni is as you say largely inspired by celts from Caesars war commentaries. While mainly french the celts were quite spread out. Galicia has a celtic legacy IIRC. I suppose there is a Galicia-Galli connection.

Someone needs to create a timeline of these. It sounds like there is material for a good scenario game to break the old Ermorian Empire. Something like

I always assumed Marignon was Spanish, but the Celts were in NW Spain as well. Marignon as Spain was part of the reason my preferred pretender name for them is Talkemada. Cause you can't Talkemada of anything!

It was in Mel Brooks' History of the World I think.

I didn't get it at the first post either, so we could be embarassed together? But now that I really tried to figure it out it sounds suspeciously like: "Cause you can't talk em outa anything"

Am I right? Is that the clue? Do I get a cookie? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Ever hear the name Torquemada?

Amhazair - that was as far as I got. But it didn't seem funny, so I guessed maybe there was more to it?

Taqwus - sadly not. It sounds familiar. I guess I am undereducated. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I wish I'd known earlier http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Well, now what am I going to do with all those hot lamia queens and eunuch predator lizards?

I suppose I can add them to my bundle of national spells.

Are there plans in the works for LA Machaka or LA Helheim?
