For one thing, it's a bit hard to explain where arcane magic suddenly came from if there is no history of writing. For another, to fight such a large-scale threat the human resistance should build up some large-scale organized resistance - something which societies at the tribal level aren't terribly good at.How about this: Most humans did live at a neolithic level, but the pseudo-Tibetans on the high mountains maintained a civilization that included cities in Splendid Isolation from the rest of the world. Some nonhuman races (probably dwarves, possibly elves as well) also maintained a writing system and some trappings of civilization.But now that the chuul have arrived, these isolated cultures realized that remaining isolated isn't going to work any more - if the invaders are to be driven back, all native races need to cooperate. Thus, ambassadors have swarmed out into the world to bring the poor primitives the blessings of civilization - such as arcane magic, agriculture, creating steel, and so on. Better hope that they learn fast...</blockquote>
