Are the Iredicci based on the Romani and other oft-persecuted itinerant groups? The whole thing about oppressed nomadic musical people really seems similar to the Romani stereotype.
Hello! The circumstances of the Iredicci are based on several different persecuted groups in history, most notably Native Americans but yes, Romani, too. Unfortunately, we have no shortage of such groups in history. :(
Culture wise, the Iredicci are a bit of a hodge podge of Italian, Romani, Hawaiian, and Persian.
