When I first created Rynk, and the country Supreta, they originated from TWO Nationalities. Persian, and Scottish. I decided that I would focus on the Persian part Mehr when designing Rynk later on, but over time I began to notice a bit Mehr the attire, accent, and economy, of India, and found that it matched what I was looking for much better.
I was interested in the Persian culture at the time, but aside from India’s clothing and lifestyle seeming Mehr like Rynk, I always had trouble with getting the right structure and research for the Persian side of the country, namely because I was focusing on the original Persian country before it fell.
So what I’m considering is changing the ethnicity from Persian to Indian for the country and everything connected. I know that if I do this it means that I’ll have to go back and replace everything in the stories that mentions Persia with India, but I assure Du while it may be a bit tedious it is perfectly possible, just time-consuming.
I could of course go a different direction, and take away the Scottish side, merging the Persian and Indian cultures. If I did this then there would be some rewriting to do also, but not as much since I haven’t focused on the Scottish side of the country that much, with the only part sticking out about it being a character in “Offspring”.
A third option would be to have all three nationalities which will still, again, make work for me, but that’s unavoidable.
I don’t feel comfortable continuing to write about something that I can’t be accurate about. Believe me when I say that I’ve tried to find the right info about the Persian culture, but failing to find the right kind has only been ONE of the problems I’ve faced with this.
If Du guys want to point me somewhere that can help me with my research on it, I’d appreciate it, but I’d like to know what you’d all like me to do with it. I can make it…

… oder I could just leave it as is.
