I love how much of the Oz-ian mythos is subtly put into this series; I mean the L.Frank Baum Oz books, specifically. For example, the world of Remnant is very similar to the countries of Oz. In the center, colored with green, is the City of Oz, capital of all lands of Oz, home to Ozpin (the Wizard) and the Ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma (Possibly an amalgamation of Dorothy and Ozma in the character Ruby Rose). To the East, is the country of the Munchkins, or Mistral, colored blue (which is their national color), whom Baum describes as being full of dense woods and wide plains (similar to Qrow's description during his last mission before visiting his neices at Beacon). To the North, the land of the Gillikins, ruled by the Locasta the Good Witch of the North, clothed in white (the color of sorceresses), the same color as the country of Atlas to the north. To the West, is Quadling Country; their color is ruddy-yellow (similar to the emblem on the map) and is home to the Wicked Witch of the West, until she was defeated by Dorothy. Perhaps Cinder Fall is meant to embody the Witch of the East, she claims to be from Mistral after all; she could be partnered with the Witch of the West (another maiden?), to overthrow Ozpin, a pretender to the throne as the Wizard was. Glynda is, of course, Glinda the Good Witch of the South; however, there is no southern continent, and Glinda in the Oz books was always seeking the good of the whole Land of Oz and so supported/protected the Emerald City, as well as her own country.

Now I have this whole theory about the Witches, the Maidens, the "Wizard," RWBY, Princess Ozma, and it keeps going deeper and deeper, but all shall be revealed in time, I'm sure. Just my thoughts, my two cents, on what we've learned so far...
