Trade goods are carried by ox, bull and horse caravans instead of wagons or carts.    Masonry varies in quality but is generally well developed with small castles and places of worship at the pinnacle. Woodwork and stonework is often of a high quality with most huts and dwellings being made from wood except those who follow the old gods, preferring stone.  Medicine is more advanced with pain killers, knowledge of anatomy and mental health being prevalent in most areas. Medical practices include a mixture of herbalism, leaching and spirituality.    Most people are farmers or artisans with trade centring around food, housing and weapons. Poor literacy skills render books rare and often feared. Most arcane materials are collected and traded through covens with normal tradesmen unaware of their existence.    Population sizes vary with castle-towns being the pinnacle. Most people live in villages centred round trade or water supplies while towns accompany castles. Some villages have developed alongside halls or forts under the protection of a landed knight. Rare villages made loosely from wood and moss humpies can be found near forests and woodlands. There are no cities currently in the known world.    Ships are slightly less advanced compared to real world period. Open sea travel is non-existent with navel routes following currents or landmarks.     Roads are poor, often dirt or gravelled trade-ways. A good navigational knowledge are essential for some areas of the continent who have no roads at all but a system of elaborate markers. Magical forms of navigation are available with priests being hired on long-distance sea voyageurs.</blockquote>
