From the author:
"Japan during the Tokagawa Shogunate, China during the Sung Dynasty, Korea for some of the cultural window dressing, a touch of Zulu from before the Zulu-Boer War, and a couple of things I cribbed from the Aztecs. Mix well, stir, and pour. No mystery. The influences for how I designed the Tsurani originally for Magician were asian.I wanted the reader to have a huge sense of "culture clash" after the 1st half of the book was spent in a relatively European-esque environment.
