Fantasy species are supposed to be ancient.
America is a toddler of a nation, in age and behavior.
I give you Tex of the Black Pants Legion talking about playing D&D in rural Texas. We gonna praise Palor up in hyaugh!
The Seanchan would like a slowly drawled word.
Imperial conquerors from across the sea with slave sorceresses and Texan accents.
Wheel of Time is top tier.
Careful what you wish for. I believe it’s in the first book* of Wheel of Time that suddenly there's a group of "darkfriends"** (basically worshippers of the ultimate evil) who all speak in a dialect that sounds like they're from rural Georgia.
Even with Rosamund Pike doing a fantastic job reading the audio book, that was immersion breaking as fuck 😂
*Second book
** not all darkfriends, see reply below
the seanchan are described as having a drawl, but you're not introduced to them until book2 and they're not uniformly darkfriends.
There's a DnD podcast called "Not Another DnD Podcast", where one of the characters is a redneck elf. That one's played by Emily Axford, who's also part of D20: https://open.spotify.com/show/5GcTIDkgnB9wP6CmUyOSqa?si=2FX7y8bcTfitOVluc7pVcw
Monsters, Inc. Fairy trailer trash with a southern accent. You're welcome.
Theres not enough guns in Fantasy stories to warrant a redneck accent
Ever been to Tennessee? You really don't want that lol
Dwarves in the Dragon Age universe have an US-American accent.
Definitely listen to the audible book The Hum and the Shiver it has fairies in the Appalachian mountains and definitely has red-neck voiced fairies.
So you want Neil Stephen's American gods? got it
Neil Gaiman
Has nobody here seen The Wizard of Oz?
British Scottish Welsh (Irish is complicated)?
I have English being conflated with British but never the other way round.
I have no idea how I feel about this
guess they missed True Blood
They made at least one "southern fantasy" show, it was called Man in the High Castle based on work by American fantasy writer Phillip K Dick.
