I’ve been thinking about Drakovia (as you do) and I think the only way you can write it into our world without completely breaking modern history is making it AU Romania which hypothetically sides with the Allies early in WW2 and does not fall under Soviet occupation afterwards. With its status as one of the victors in WW2 and stronger ties with Western European countries, it maintains economic and political independence throughout the 20th century, and that's how the Thorne royal family survives up until modern times.

Drakovian church is some variation of Orthodox Christianity. Drakovian language would be a romance language like Romanian (with a lot of Slavic vocabulary mixed in). The odd mix of Greek, Slavic and Latin names is explained by the diverse ethnic makeup of Drakovia and migration from neighbouring countries. Thorne is still an odd surname because 'thorn' is of Germanic origin, but Romanian surnames can end in e, and hypothetically there could probably be a word in Drakovian that just happens to sound alike.

#but that's just a theory. an alternative history theory #i was thinking between bulgaria and romania and chose the latter purely bc of the language #this opens up a bunch of other questions as to how another ally country could've affected the power balance in the region during ww2 #to which the answer is um. i don't know dude. i'm not a seer #still odd how drakovian naming convention seems to be first name + middle name + mother's surname + father's surname #which is very uniquely hispanic #but idk maybe drakovia had strong ties with spain historically #for whatever reason #and aesthetically drakovia doesn't really look like any eastern european country (that I know)#so i didn't really take the visuals into account #playchoices #crimes of passion #trystan thorne #bitch speaks
