I would say the Bossonians are more relatives to the Brythonic Celts (Welsh, Cornish, Bretons, Strat Cluth) than English, due to their positioning in Hyborea (South of Cimmeria which is where Ireland and Scotland will be, and west of Aquilonia) and by their skill with the longbow, something the Welsh were very much known for, they were the most feared archers within the English armies. Anglo-Saxons are definitely among the Æsir in Asgard.

@lordzaboem Жыл бұрын

You're not wrong, but you can only be right to a short extent. Whenever we equate a Hyborean culture to a real-life ethnicity, we soon hit walls in which the equation breaks apart. I think that the Picts have more in common with Meso-Americans than with the real-life tribe from which the name was borrowed. Bossonians might be Welsh but only slightly more than they are other things also.

In the Hyborean Age Essay at the end of the period when the Turanians overan Shem and Stygia they struck deep into the Black Kingdoms, took a huge number of Amazonians as slaves and relocated them to the coast of Shem. There they bred with the local population and the other Turanian slaves to produce the proto-Cananites.

You know the last video sent me into exploring Brythunia, and I will probably do the same with one of these countries too. As I am writing I might also use this as a teaching moment as well because you can never be too good at worldbuilding. If I had to pick a favorite country in the World of Hyborea as per the question I find Brythunia has a lot of potential and seems like the perfect place for a hero to come from. I also like Zamora with it's spider God, because I find the religion to be interesting. What this says about me as a person I don't know. Great video as always.

@Dexroid Жыл бұрын

Tell us more about it. What is interesting about Brythunia? What kind of protagonist do you see?

@logancole5101 Жыл бұрын

@@Dexroid well there's a lot of nobles fighting for power there while other countries raid them and the King of Brythunia is all but powerless. I also find the Brythunia's native Goddess of Healing Wiccana to be interesting in and of herself. As for a Hero from Brythunia my writer's instinct tells me that a Robin hood like, clever but low class hero thwarting corrupt nobles and invaders while inspiring the common people to defend themselves to be perfect. Perhaps this Hero rises from his humble ranks and is held as an inspiration. A low Bandit turned Hero turned revolutionary, turned leader. Something like that could work. It would also provide a nice contrast to Conan, Kull, and Bran Mac Morn who are more warriors without being too far from a Robert E. Howard style story.

@thebrotherskrynn Жыл бұрын

Another perfect video, really enjoyed the Poitain part. Personally I still read Aquilonia as being a mixture of Romano-Greek-Frankish culture/society (not to disagree too strongly). That said, it is a mystery how you can cover so much in so short a period of time. Gunderland, Meru Valley, Bossonian Marches & Amazons are societies that most intrigued me, and I gotta say Howard's Amazons creep me out now, so I'm gonna need to read what stories there are that include them.

Grim....Excellent as usual! Loving the Wholistic approach touching on all aspects of the Age. My Fav will always be the Brythunians because early on as a teen i read the comic on the Hyborian Age and those Blonde Women were Dreamy! :)

@Dexroid Жыл бұрын

Another well crafted video essay, Grim. So pleased I found a creator with so many interests that overlap with my own. Upon doing my own Conan lore deep dives a few years back, I found myself drawn to the Gundermen of Gunderland. I enjoyed that they were effectively forced to join, but not conquered by, Aquilonia. I believe Robert said the true Hyperborean stock ran through their veins most strongly, as they rarely interbred with the other races of Hyborea and kept no slaves. I believe the official religion is Mitra, but worship of Bori, the original diety, is common. Robert specifically wrote that no greater infantry existed in the world. I imagine this means their foot soldiers, working in an effective army, are the most effective, but not necessarily most superior warriors in duals or the like. Aquilonia itself is very easily identifiable for me. Cavalry and knights in the south (Poitan), archers in the west (Bossonian marches) and infantry in the north (Gunderland) and everything else in Aquilonia proper. Aquilonia's expansionist attitude seemed to me fairly Roman, but more technologically advanced. Question, where do you go for this lore? Is there any literature other than the direct source material you could direct us to? Thanks again.

I just love your content. Your videos are my most anticipated things to come out of KZfaq. I run P&P games using Hyperborea 3e and finding inspiration for a setting derived from the works of Howard, Lovecraft and Smith isn't as easy as it is for more generic settings like Forgotten Realms. Your videos make it easier and make me want to abandon trolls, orcs, dwarves and dragons for gugs, ape-men, voormis and shoggoths.

Seeing that the Bossonians are the closest analogue to the people of Cymru, the people of Wales, I'm wondering how a form of Draconic Shamanism (in the style of Y Ddraig Goch) could be done while also being faithful to the setting. I want to represent the Dragon as a positive force of nature, an incarnation of the natural world and its wrath, but also in a protective manner.
