I really like the idea in Heroquest of the culture-focused fantasy game, where the clash and mixing of culture, political power and magical power is all tied together. On the other hand, I don't like the exceedingly skeevy cultural appropriation and stereotypes that happen with all the POC stand-in cultures.
So, I've begun putting together my own fantasy cultures to play in an Glorantha-like setting- the multiplicities of cultures and magic, heroquests, etc.
The first one is the Naji-Amal, who are basically my replacements for Heortlings. They're only similar in keeping small clan-based, blood feud stuff, but that's about it.
