Default Re: PBEM game: The first step (Running)

Speaking of Marignon and Ermor, I am curious about the real world history that inspired them. I know that Ermor represents the Roman Empire, and Pythium represents the Byzantine Empire (the Eastern half of the Roman empire that survived Rome's fall). I have heard that Marignon is supposed to be medieval Spain, and some of the names do sound Spanish. However, other names sound more French (like Marignon itself) or Italian. Perhaps Marignon represents all of medieval Christendom.
