Dungeon Fantasy Non-Lawsuit Historical Books

OK, instead of lawsuits then write something that won’t offend those that live to be offended. For example, instead of Buddha there could be a prophet called the “enlightened one” which is of course not Buddha but extremely similar to Buddha.

In any case, I think there is a place between the extremes of pure historical background and gonzo fantasy background. This could be like Nordland but include the rest of the Earth. I still say GURPS Silk Road should be the background setting and then add a lot of cool fantasy things that are appropriate to the area where it is set. I like Nordland but I feel Norse settings have already been done so I would like a more exotic setting.
