 I'm trying to decide if it would be horrendous to write a FFXII Medieval AU with Dalmasca as Wales, Archadia as England, Nabradia as Scotland and Landis as Ireland. With a nod in as Fran from Scandinavia - but what would Rozarria be? France.

Balthier, as a half English half Welsh lordling from somewhere near the border plans defection and seeks the help from a noted wisewoman/Green Lady on the other side of the border. They strike up a partnership and try their hands at being raiders.

Ashelia as a princess, married a lord (will find proper cultural terminology) from Scotland to strike up a defence against the English.

 

Noah and Basch hail from small town/stead in south of Ireland which has been invaded by the English and have been brought back as serfs or similar. Basch escapes to become a Welsh bowsman, Noah becomes Gabranth and stays to work his way up in England.

 

Will be rife with inaccuracies most likely, but I'm really tempted. Would start of as series of linked together drabbles then see where that takes me. 

 

But would any of you want to read it? :/

*raises hand* I'd read it!

Well, I always say, it's not a matter if anyone would want to read it, but a matter of whether or not you want to write it.

XD

(But you've piqued my interest. ^^)

I'd read it. I particularly like AUs -- and noting historical explanation would be really interesting too.

I know Welsh history can be a wee bit obscure, not even taking into account the language, so yes, notes at the end would be done. And thank you for letting me know you'd read it.

I would read it! And man would I be thrilled if Fran was Scandinavian

Excellent. I feel large amounts of research are needed, nut this is shaping up :)

oooooh intriguing.

First off do some inane research :D, i'm sure I heard somewhere that the south of Wales and the North had differing loyalties. Also that there were enviromental barriers between Wales adn England. Wales has it's own language, as does Ireland (Gaelic) and I think Scotland too. If you want some window into life then, I recommend Child's ballads, there's lots of scottish and welsh ones in his collection.
