Kingdom of Damarian?

[Daniel J. Lewis]

Neal joked with Henry that the best pizza was in “The Kingdom of Damarian on the North Shore of the Dragon Fields of Zorn.” Has anyone heard of anything like this? I’ve been hitting dead ends on research.

There is a fantasy novel called “The Hero and the Crown” that is set in a Kingdom called Damar and also features Dragons.

Interesting side note the author, Robin McKinley, also wrote a re-telling of “Beauty and the Beast”.

Well, back when the sneak peak first came out, Phee did a search for those words: She wrote about in this thread– https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=3033
Given how nerdy the creators and writers are, they might be using Star Trek/D and D.

Interesting what Phee dug up about the names. Damarians, Demarians, sounds similar when some speak it. Could be a geeky nod to Star Trek (although they seem to be more on a trip to offer us some Star Wars easter eggs at the moment)

When ignoring the n at the end and writing Damaria differently you get da Maria – and google for it and you’ll find a number of restaurants and pizzerias all over the world.

There is a fantasy novel called “The Exiles of Damaria” by science-fiction writer Ardath Mayhar. She wrote among other novels as well a novel for the BattleTech franchise, title “The Sword and the Dagger”.

Zorn in German means wrath – and is used as family name. There is a small town in Texas named Zorn named after a storekeeper there. As well though you can find even a Star Trek connection here, Groppler Zorn was a character in the pilot of Star Trek Next Generation, the leader of the Bandis who were in negotiations with the federation and had used a strange space creature to create a very comfortable station (Farpoint Station)

Pretty sure there are more possibilities, I too did only a quick search.

¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯

Yeah, I didn’t have access to the captions for dialogue, so just took a stab at the spelling for them and when I turned up some geeky connections, I figured perhaps that was it.

I noticed that someone tweeted it to MRJ after the sneak peek came out, asking it what it meant, and he RT it saying “no idea”, or something like that. 😆

I just assumed it was something silly pulled out of thin air. It made me laugh “no, of course the best pizza is in New York!”

I think it’s most likely a nod to Star Wars 🙂 But for whatever reason it made be think of fantasy video games 😐 :geek: 😕 😀
