A fourth age

[Omnirizon]

what to call it? Post Age? PA? I dunno.

there is so much good stuff in the Early Modern Period to draw inspiration from. (for clarification, EMP is 1500 to 1800. note that LA human nations tend to be inspired from real history right up to the EMP.)

The Ottoman Empire, and all the stuff happening in that area of the world.

American colonies, and all their unique politics, myth, and folklore.

Antillean colonies, and all their unique politics, myth, and folklore; especially voodoo and slave-colonizer interaction creating cultures of subterfuge and subverted hatred from both master and slave, creating a strong practice of magical herbalism and voodoo, with poisoning and ritual dance and sacrifice, along with marronage and affrichesment. (very unlike the much more hypo-slavery of the later americas)

South american colonies, and the bastard combination of catholicism and native traditions.

hell, there's so much good stuff. some of the LA nations could even be stretched into it; same way many EA and MA nations are creatively stretched into LA.

not that I'm not happy with what there is, it was just a thought. I'm kind of a fan of EMP folklore. the clash, separation, and recreation of culture that was happening at that time made for the advent of more and deeper myth and folklore than the world had seen for hundreds of years.
