8.0 and World

[MikkoAkure]

I allready wonders:
The dragon continent is supposed to be around the same place, as australia is in or world. And F14 take inspiration of the same areas of or world.
But, what has Australia to give, aside of thousands of the deadliest animals ever.

Meracydia has some Australian fauna but most signs are pointing it to be more like Africa.

From what little we know of it, there are references to Ancient Egypt, it's the original home of hippos, and there are references to Ethiopian, Congolese, and West African culture as well.

Speaking as an Australian, there is an angle to essentially doing a 'pre-colonization Australia/Africa' mashup, the cultures, climates and histories are close enough to have some viable parallels for storytelling purposes. (Also, hippos are an Australian animal in spirit, they've got the right vibe of 'the hell kinda landscape made THAT'.)

If you really wanted to dig into real-life culture to link some things, there's also a fun hook there in the form of the Gosford Glyphs. Which are a hoax in real life, but hey, so was El Dorado.
