Careful what you wish for. I believe it’s in the first book* of Wheel of Time that suddenly there's a group of "darkfriends"** (basically worshippers of the ultimate evil) who all speak in a dialect that sounds like they're from rural Georgia.

Even with Rosamund Pike doing a fantastic job reading the audio book, that was immersion breaking as fuck 😂

*Second book

** not all darkfriends, see reply below

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

the seanchan are described as having a drawl, but you're not introduced to them until book2 and they're not uniformly darkfriends.

Definitely listen to the audible book The Hum and the Shiver it has fairies in the Appalachian mountains and definitely has red-neck voiced fairies.

British Scottish Welsh (Irish is complicated)?

I have English being conflated with British but never the other way round.

I have no idea how I feel about this
