Within Forsaken Saga, some of the characters, events, and locations are directly inspired by history. The relationship between\u00a0Anrah Ross\u00a0and his son\u00a0Rhael Ross\u00a0is directly inspired by that of\u00a0Suleiman the Magnificent, the 10th Sultan of the\u00a0Ottoman Empire, and his son\u00a0\u015eehzade Mustafa. The character\u00a0Miane Ross\u00a0is inspired by\u00a0Umay Ana, a figure from\u00a0ancient Turkic beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The historical\u00a0Griffon Wars\u00a0in the series are inspired by the\u00a0Interregnum\u00a0that followed the\u00a0Ottoman Empire’s decline after its war with the\u00a0Timurid Empire. Similarly, the father of the brothers who fought for the throne during the\u00a0Griffon Wars\u00a0is inspired by\u00a0Bayezid the Thunderbolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the overall theme of the series is early\u00a0Western European\u00a0history, the\u00a0Asurhan\u00a0People and cultures living in the eastern parts of the\u00a0Wesyrim\u00a0continent are inspired by the ancient Turks of Central Asia. Similarly, the\u00a0Da\u2019qa Natives\u00a0in the southeast of the continent are inspired by the\u00a0Kurds\u00a0living in southeastern\u00a0Turkey\u00a0today, and their ancestors, the\u00a0Medes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prevalent belief in the\u00a0The Supreme\u00a0in the lands of\u00a0Harrigton\u00a0in the west of the continent is also inspired by\u00a0Zoroastrianism, a religion formerly believed in the\u00a0Middle East\u00a0and still having followers today. The conquest of the\u00a0Wesyrim\u00a0continent, also referred to as the\u00a0Iron Invasion\u00a0and the\u00a0Iron Conquerors, is inspired by the\u00a0conquest of England\u00a0by\u00a0William the Bastard\u00a0and the\u00a0Crusades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
