These cadaans cannot comprehend a darker skin person having a sophisticated society. Look how whitewashed he is. They gave him the Jesus treatment.

But all this is being drawn by people who never left iberia they probably don't know a thing about the horn there all second hand accounts. Have you not seen the paintings of the armoured European Knights they used to depict one of the battles between adal and ethiopia?

European cartographers only drew on what they could see in books and attempted to replicate it in reality. Most of their maps from this time period depicted foreign rulers who looked like them because that's what they were used to seeing.

He is Ethiopian. He is a mythical figure in the heartlands of the muslims which cadaans yearned for when they were getting karbashed during the Crusades.
Nah Ethiopians didnt even knew the guy existed and plus he didnt really go to Ethiopia it's just a speculation, it was said that prester john left to a pagan country and became a king there when he made them Christian. They thought he went to india then changed it to thinking he went to central asia but when Portuguese came to ethiopia they thought prester john came to Ethiopia
