Editing Milantean Lore (section)

=== Real World Basis ===
There are no official statements on what real world cultures, if any, the Milanteans are based on. However, the names of some of their characters hint at the developers' inspirations:
* Árpád is a Hungarian name.
* Lasko is a Polish name, and László is a Hungarian name.

In the apocryphal [[Stormwaltz 2016 Q&A]], [[Turbine Developers#Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile|Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile]] commented on Milantos, saying, "Milantos was supposed to be a dark and gothic realm of blood magic. Maybe the intent for them was something like Tevinter in Dragon Age?"<ref>2016/10 [[Stormwaltz 2016 Q&A]]] - [[Stormwaltz 2016 Q&A/Question 28|Question 28: Viamontians and Rennaj]]</ref>

On the fan site Crossroads of Dereth's lore article ''The Kingdom of Milantos - Introduction'', the author speculated that Milantos was the "Transylvania of Ispar".
