This talk of Garleans and "inventing shit" reminded me of one. Two words that will always make me raise a brow and check how badly you might be stepping on the canon are noble and nobility. It's always a coin flip whether they're fine or whether they're snowflakey. For every one doing it right there's another who hasn't done their research or is trying to insert themselves into some part of the lore they shouldn't. For every one that has done extensive research or writes it so damn well that their tiny mistakes don't matter there's two going "Tee hee! I'm a princess!". Then to add insult to injury you can tell those 'princesses' know they're breaking canon because they always come from some island or place that's never been mentioned. Pretty much every girl ever has wanted to be a princess at some point in her life but maybe you should find a setting/system/etc that supports it?
Maybe it's just one of my buttons because I was once guilty of making a noble character without researching the culture first. I was still new to the setting, the information wasn't on the sites I was using as resources, and I assumed a less common ethnic group would have a society similar to the more common one. It really opened my eyes to the importance of researching lore.
