(The other is that jumping 100 years eliminates a large number of named NPCs at a stroke. Basically, any Human, Orc, Half-orc, Half-elf or Halfling is gone, unless they have some means of extending their life... and such means have always been portrayed as being very rare.)This is the second time magic has become very unstable inside a generation. Huge numbers of wiards are going to die, more will be driven insane, and all those monuments that depend on magic for their support will suddenly fall. Under those circumstances, it is surely logical that the common people will turn to technology and science (which remain reliable) as a replacement. Especially factions such as the Zhentarim, who will see opportunity in the chaos. So, in 100 years, I would expect there to be some significant progress... unless there is some other factor involved (death of Gond, perhaps?).</blockquote>
