Anything older than 2000 years or so is mostly myth and legend. My versions of the Romans for example kept records and that empire has been dead for 300 years but there were other empires before them such as Nithia, The Ancients etc. Things like Spelljammer ships also date from long ago and they occasionally turn up and the PCs have seen one once in my games since 5E landed. There are some groups around with things like SJ ships and some of the weapons out of the 5E DMG and occasionally something  like a rifle turns up with 6 shells and they are not from the ancient past.I'm also throwing around ideas of the ancient past being really really ancient and Dinosaurs did not die out and became Dragons and the PCs have come across Dinos in lost world settings. I have been throwing around some of these plot hooks going back to AD&D 2E and some of them have carried forward through various players to the current group of which a couple of them got to interact with the last players I had from the 1990s who left in 2012. Still thinking over the instruction manual to an ICBM as there is something about the "Day of a Thousand Suns" in various fragments they have found. I kind of treat books like DS and the real word. Some are propaganda, some are history, some are lies, some are worth money and Playgorgon is cursed don't open it.</blockquote>
