derive your fantasy settings from somewhere other than medieval europe you cowards
apart from anything else it gives you the chance to read some world history from parts of the world that arenāt europe and that shit is non-stop funĀ
some to start you off:
the an lushan rebellion (and literally all chinese imperial court drama makes european political machination look totally pathetic)
the trĘ°ng sisters
the battle of tondibiĀ (and literally the entire fall of the songhai empire to the morrocan invaders)
the hajj of mansa musaĀ (the richest man of all history)
kublai khanās repeated and failed attempts to invade japan
the maurya empire
this isnāt even stretching to like, russia, southern africa, the pacific, or anywhere in the americas yet?
cāmon man donāt you wanna base a fantasy story on patachuti?
#this isnāt even an argument for social justice#i am just fucking BORED
Avatar the last Airbender did this excellently.Ā
