Jisliek, yous needs to work on that Sef Effriken Accent, ek se^.

Admittedly I don't quite get this one. I always saw the colonialist African parallels in the Six-legged empire and other God-learner incursions into Pameltela. There is also the obvious moorish Africa influence in Fronrit. As usual these are just influences and are wrong in all the particulars (futile attempt to try and forestall any more off-topic political debate).
