Hello, I know I make a lot of these but i know a lot about world culture because everyone in my family has a country we study: Dad: Germany Mom: Italy Brother: French Me: Japan Now to be honest i didn't get this from my mom but actually science (not geography lol) when we learned about rocks: The Basilica is the Commons of DragonSpyre and there is a stone landmark in Rome, Italy called the Basilica. So i am pretty sure that DragonSpyre is really based on Italy even though a lot of people say Germany, Ukraine, and Russia even though i don't understand Russia its cold there lol!
Hope this shines a bit of light on the topic! -Sayonara Kevin BattleBreeze Level: 82 Life
They could have borrowed a few names I don't think it's based off of Italy...The people have Russian accents, and they were very focused on fire and dragons.
If we are talking about Rome, they were most known for similarities in Greek style. If they were to do something on Rome, it would have something similar to Greek mythology and ways. Apart from the basilisca, it doesn't really seem like Rome......
Although the Rome idea is interesting about the Basilisca Perhaps they borrowed the name? KI have borrowed a lot of names lol. Idk, it just seems more Russia to me. But if this was Italy, then it's a shame they didn't do what Italy really looks like....not covered in lava and ruins and dragons
well think about it. Russian accents, war based lifestyle= Sparta (ancient greek civilization witch society based on war) dragons= japan and other country's, volcano's and lava everywhere= first stages of the new planet earth, basilica=borrowed name (maybe) dragoon armor=-well nothing BUT the name is french for dragon, the cloth hat that looks like a baseball hat but has a flat top is WWI era, the banners on sticks you see in the ground by houses or towers are like roman standards where they raise it high and show the legion number or something. ( you notice the eagle on top also was on top for the roman legion standard) so you see that DS is actually a mix of several different country's, empires, places, from diff eras from the beginning of earth to present day. there is no true thing its based off of.
The best match for Dragonspyre is the Byzantine Empire.
As the eastern, Greek-dominated portion of the ancient Roman Empire, it lasted through the 1400's and was an important formative influence on the modern Greek Orthodox church and the Russian Orthodox church. It encompassed modern Greece, Bulgaria, parts of Romania, western and central Turkey, Jordan, northern Syria, and Cyprus.
It retained a lot of ancient Greek and Roman government and cultural terms (Atheneum, NEcropolis, Academia) and its most important allies and rivals were from the Slavic kingdoms Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, Serbia, Kiev, Armenia, and the Turks.
That's probably why all the zones are named after Greek civic buildings and the heroes and minibosses have Slavic or Greek sounding names. It's probably also why most of the architecture looks Roman - broken columns, pedestals, scrollwork, inscriptions, The Forum, etc.

It's a nice point, but I think it's an are in Russia destroyed by a huge volcano. Russian accents, ruined things, Great Spyre + Dragon Titan = volcano-thing, you know. But there seems to be a bit of greek content.

You're onto something, there is a supervolcano in America and there are many more just undiscovered. Maybe the supervolcano caused this.
Dragonspyre is based on the ancient roman city of Pompeii and the ancient Greek civilization I think. I think the accents is just something they decided to add.
I find that a lot of these worlds are based off of mixed countries and cultures, which makes it all the more interesting. Instead of focusing it on being from just one culture, try looking at the mixtures added.
