Stop me before I kill another ancient culture....
The halfling kingdom does a pretty awful job of plagiarising Welsh mythology. The name of the kingdom is lifted right out of 6th century Welsh mythology, including the name of the king and queen. Also, this means Taliesin exists and he is a halfling. I almost used Pryderi's parents (Pwyll and Rhiannon) except for two things: One, Rhiannon is probably from the same root as another barbarian horse goddess (Epona) - because of a stupid joke made while playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess all I hear now is ePony.com, and because of an irrational hatred of Stevie Nicks. Why must everything be ruined by lame baby-boomer music?
Thank you Wikipedia for providing me with cultures to browse and destroy.
