Personally i think it is pointless to try and say what the saxons were
most based on. As i have said before, your opinion most likely depends on
your 'affinity' for particular cultures. In non-british countries, i
imagine 'celts' are the order of the day, as celtic nationalism is
generally strongest there...i imagine many scandinavians would like to
think of them as resembling vikings...perhaps many british people think
of them as saxons. In many supplements, different views of orlanthi are
being pushed. having said this, i do believe that the viking hypothesis
is far less likely -0 the vikings were far too sophisticated (as were the
late saxons for that matter) to be conflated with 'orlanthiness.'
Perhaps what we should have done was strongly avoid RW motifs in the
beginning, but i suppose that is precisely what attracts people to
orlanthi scum, er, noble warriors.
sorry about my burbling, its too early for me, and i feel dizzy.

PS. I have already sacrificed 3 POW to the RMM in the desperate hope that things like 'borderlands' will return....
