Analogs
I'm trying to learn more about the Forgotten Realms setting. I'm under the impression that it has analogs to every real world location.

I also get the impression that it has a lot of just pure fantasy without any real world analog.

I come to the conclusion more and more that a lot of fantasy has no real world analog or analogs, and is just plain alien to any place, culture, or historical period in the real world.

For example, when I'm at a book store, I'll look through fantasy role-playing game rule-books, see pictures of swords, axes, etc. and think, "It wouldn't have even OCCURRED to people in ancient, Medieval, etc. times to design swords or axes this way.".
