[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 6189706, member: 327"] I wouldn't say that of FR, at least no from the third edition books. Most of the setting seems to be renaissance era technology and I've seen nothing of "modern" technology in it. I'm no historical expert, so I can't say any of that solidly. Any that are more knowledgable have an opinion on it? Btw, out of interest, MY version of FR is much more low magic. I know that probably seems a misnomer, but as a DM, I see many of the Realms high magic events to be fairly rare. I see little in the written lore that shows that the average commoner has ever seen a spell, a magic item, or anything of that ilk. Yes, goblins and orcs might abound in regions, but heroes in shining armor and mighty wizards are still a VERY low percentage of the population. They are, for the most part, to the average citizen just a stories you hear at the local tavern. Just like we hear about Hollywood movie star all the time, we're unlikely to ever see one, and much more unlikely for any such person to be part of their daily lives. Anyway, a little of tangent there... -Arravis [/QUOTE]
