One of the most interesting things about Calradia is how closely it parallels Europe. Imagine, if you would, a lost continent, a Medieval Bermudas Triangle, where people from different cultures (but roughly the same timeframe, quantum physics is odd) ended up, and built their cultures that sort of resembled what they once knew. Several generations later, they've got their own unique flavor, but you can see the roots now and again. Like when I made the Sarmacian Raiders. It was "Take the Alans and Sarmatians of E.European history, bring them forward to the 13th century, corrupt the name a bit, and bam! instant Calradian Faction!" Who knows what else will develop in Calradia, land of lost (but vaguely remembered) heritage, uncertain futures, Heroic (or Villainous! ) Mercenary Companies, Pretender Kings, and break away factions?
