I was under the impression that all the way back in Shadowbringers, they evoked the original use of the word “Utopia”, by pulling “Amaurot”, “Anyder”, and “Hythlodeus” from the 16th century book called “Utopia”, where that word was invented. The book was a satire on society and the author wrote about a people in a culture centered around the capital, Amaurot, that was logical to the extreme and all wore the same simple clothes. All of this is explained to the reader by a man name Hytholdeus. Sound familiar?

Funny enough, even to this day scholars debate whether or not the author was in support of such a society or was against it. It was a super idyllic society with democracy, equality (ish, get to that later), easy divorce, and logic and heaps of socialism, but it also had slaves, no lawyers, punished simple crimes with slavery, and had pagan beliefs. The writer was a devout Catholic who hated divorce and was a lawyer. He has since been made the patron saint of politicians.
