My own view of Orlanthi culture is that of Asterix the Gaul. Romans = Lunars(
those Lunars are crazy), Egyptians=Esrolians (nearly), Getafix the Kolating,
etc. I haven't quite placed Timeanhaf, Photograf and the rest of the Normans
but I expect that they are some sort of Orlanthi from the East Wilds of
Ralios, or maybe Humakti who don't know the meaning of fear.
