You might be interested in badass historical Thai war epic Bang Rajan for a bit of flavour. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=257_aZK9RnI<br /><br />I love the name Iskander for the Faux-Greeks - It has a kind of decadent-scions-of-the-great-conqueror kind of vibe. I also very much like the use of Orientalism as a means of describing the cultures. I think Weird fiction was essentially derived from Orientalism with its opium-dream imaginings of the other. Also the tendency to genericise and essentialise the other makes things easy to handle in rpg scenarios.<br /><br />Also, late eighties grindcore. What a quaint form of music. I'd forgotten what that was like.Tom Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893168729760333884noreply@blogger.com
