Gorhaut is a harsh, stern northern realm ruled by warrior aristocracy and the priesthood of the sky god Corannos Arbonne is a warm, sunny land of wine and olives, whose inhabitants enjoy troubadours' poetry and songs and worship the goddess Rian as an equal to Corannos, and that's not to mention being ruled by a woman.
There is a saying, known in both of the two countries, that Gorhaut and Arbonne could never coexist in peace. It is set in a land resembling medieval Western Europe, and mostly in Arbonne, which is this world's stand-in for the targets of the crusade, Languedoc and Provence. A Song For Arbonne is a fantasy novel by Guy Gavriel Kay inspired by the Albigensian Crusade, a medieval military campaign aimed at destruction of heretics in the south of France.
