"Gransys might be based on Germany or France or Britain"

I'd say neither, or at least not that much, excluding the massive Gran Soren walls or Noble Quarter.

Majority of the land, climate and its architecture bear a rather strong Mediterrenean feel - rather obvious inspiration for the authors were countries like Greece and Italy, especially from ancient and medieval times. Cassardis looks like a small, Greek fishing town, while Gran Soren - especially the Venery part, with its tall buildings made out of stone, characterictic roofs and tight alleys - looks like an Italian medieval city, like Lucca (in Tuscany).

When it comes to Obviously-Inspired locations, I think my favorite is Bluemoon Tower though - the whiff of ancient Rome (with a dash of mesopotamia in shape of gryphons on pedestals, facing one another) is strong in that one. It even has a Colliseum on the top! :D
