Shadowhunter, I have no problems with that. I am planning on a very egalitarian sort of place, where no one is automatically assumed to be Evil, not even using undead to do mundane stuff (not killing and looting), unless proven otherwise (I am not talking about modern court of law proving, though...).
I am also envisioning a place more like the Nordic legends than England. That is, snowy, longer winters, shorter summers, where the people are a hardy, gruff frontiersmen breed. Think Beowulf and Ring of the Nibelung, although probably not *that* freezing.
