[General scifi/fantasy] A lot of books posit that the best warriors come from harsh environments; what are some good novels where the badassery comes from the gentle green fields of a temperate climate?

Looking at **you**, Dune...

Many stories set in a classical medieval setting fit this bill. A Song of Ice and Fire, the Lord of the Rings with the rangers, etc.

Dune is an interesting one. The Fremen are a warrior society due to the harsh conditions and constant external threats, but it's the spice which makes them exceptional. Saluca Secundus is arguably worse than Arrakis, but the Sarduakar weren't any match for the Fremen.
