Trivia

 * Yamatsu is the equivalent of Japan in the world of The Seven Spellblades. It comes from the word "Yamato", one of the names for Japan. More specifically, it appears to be based on Japan as of the Sengoku Period, an extended period of dynastic wars that took place from approximately the 15th to 17th centuries CE (volume 1 of the novels begins in the year 1532 of the Great Calendar).


 * Yamatsu is written as "日の国" in Japanese, meaning "Sun Country" in Japanese. It is similar to the real-world "Nihon" (日本国), the Japanese word for the country of Japan.
