Peshwa literary origins

[Havard]

I honestly don't know where the inspiration for the Peshwa came from, but I know that they were present earlier then 1975. It could have simply been reading the history of the American Indians.

What you are saying makes sense Greg. Arneson used many other historical groups as well, such as Vikings, Picts, Nomads etc. The Peshwa are mentioned in the earliest parts of the FFC, in the Egg of Coot Scenario

DungeonDevil has suggested that the name Peshwa could be derived from a Central Asian term. In the Mystara group, it was speculated that could also be a variant of a Native American word.
