If skyships are possible, then trains also, but the no-magic technology could be sabotaged very easily in a fantasy world. A simple motor in a crossbow to reload or in a war charriot could mean the end of chivalry. You can't imagine the level of necessary playtest to find the right balance between magic and technology.Some time in the past I suggest the nations were intentionally a chop-suey, a mixture of different cultures, to avoid projection of xenophobes tropes against neighbour nations. And because players want in the same zone monsters whose roots are folklore from different lands. The players don't want to travel to other region to talk with the lungs and after traveling farer to face against the oni. * If I learnt something about Chinese History is if Zhao Gao shows a deer but he says it to be horse.. KILL ZHAO GAO!* I learnt to respect Chinese culture thanks teleserie "Kung-Fu" (but the sequel became a true "jump the shark"). The reboot is in the third season, isn't it?* Even people from the same roots could show different points of view. For example let's imagine the daughter of Chinese inmigrants living in Spain, and she writes in a self-publishing web a fantasy saga about an empire created by the merger of the ersatz of Spain and China, thanks a marriage alliance, and all those troubles about cultural differences. This plot could be popular in different countries, even in Taiwan, but it could be censored by the Chinese goverment because one of the main characters if a "mixed-blood" princess. The plot could be written with all the respect and love for the Chinese culture, but other people could say it is offensive.</blockquote>
