Groo The Wanderer - The Setting

The Setting

Groo's adventures take place in an environment that generally resembles Medieval Europe, although his travels have also taken him to places that resemble Africa, Indonesia, Japan, the Middle East and elsewhere. In addition to regular flora and fauna, dragons and other legendary creatures occasionally appear, and several cultures use dinosaur-like creatures as beasts of burden. Over the years, Groo has also encountered several "non-human" cultures such as the Kalelis and the Drazil. The currency in Groo's world is the Kopin.

It may be worth noting that, although many technologies and peoples in Groo appear ancient, more modern innovations such as the printing press can be found as well.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:

    May we two stand,
    When we are dead, beyond the setting suns,
    A little from other shades apart,
    With mingling hair, and play upon one lute.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Love is at the root of all healthy discipline. The desire to be loved is a powerful motivation for children to behave in ways that give their parents pleasure rather than displeasure. it may even be our own long-ago fear of losing our parents’ love that now sometimes makes us uneasy about setting and maintaining limits. We’re afraid we’ll lose the love of our children when we don’t let them have their way.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)
