Hmm. I wonder if the technomages might be more the elves. I'm not sure if the comparison will really hold up over time, though I will defer to you on that since you know the books better than I do. I will say that I know for sure that the Minbari are based on Japanese/Asian culture, and the Centauri are ancient Rome (which will definitely become very clear over time). I can't remember if the Narn were directly drawn from a particular region/historical period, but I am quite sure about those two.
