Pretty sure because the “original” fantasy was written as a false history for England (LoTR was this). So it makes sense that the people would bear an English accent

I hope one day we can have a (respectful) mainstream fantasy world for Native America, It could be so cool.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but most characters in A Wizard of Earthsea resemble Native Americans.

Do the books have accents?

I'll admit I haven't read them, but I imagine the original version was British English with all the extra U's and such.

Could be Canadian.

@WoodenBleachers But his sources were Norse, primarily, so by extension the argument can be made that the characters should all have Scandinavian accents.

That’s cool. I wouldn’t mind fantasy characters having accents (it’s fantasy after all) just providing context for why it’s predominantly English

No, only folks that never read what Tolkien said about LotR think it is a fake History for England.

I read the Silmarillion, he was sad about the fact that England had no real “mythology” so he made his own
