They can do that - that is, make whole Cintra non-white. As I explained several times already in the thread, they then need to change pretty much every kingdom south of Cintra as well, cause geographically it would make zero sense for them to remain white. Which not only changes lore quite a bit, but makes main bad guys, Niflgaardians, non-white as well - and I don't think that would be quite welcomed in this political climate. There was quite elegant solution if they just had to mess with what is fantasy world built heavily on European history and traditions (and I understand that non-Europeans might have harder time realizing that), by including some characters from either Zerrikania or Ofir - I'd say Zerrikania with their Golden Dragon roots might be more interesting choice, but Ofir with their mix of Ottoman and North African culture would be great as well. |
Not sure why the geography (South/North) would really be impacted. When you are bellow the equator the more north you are more sun there is and darker skins, the more south you are less sun and lighter your skin.
Also in their world North and South could be reversed (as our N/S also reverse every so many mileniums), their planet could rotate in the opposite direction, etc. I don't see any problem in geography that would prevent this change. There the sun could even circle north to south (or reverse) and then skin color change from east to west.
But please elaborate in the geographical limitations (because if they decide to make all Cintra a specific race that isn't white, they can make the same to all other races and change their races and still make sense).
