So, most people don’t equate “knowing how to heal a sick cow” with “witchcraft”, most people and their clothes are clean, the church is the primary sponsor of scientific and artistic advancement (and the biggest critic of the idea of witchcraft as a real thing), most port/trade cities absolutely have people from other parts of the world, art and science are being actively pursued and progressed, etc. Basicaly, the common conception of the Middle Ages is so completely nonsensically incorrect, just basing a world on actual Medieval History would make it feel like a fresh and new fantasy world.A setting based on an accurate understanding of Al Andulus would be amazing, but so would London, or Paris, and their surroundings.But, before that, I’d want A world of islands that explores themes of Oceanic and South Asian cultures.Peruvian ancient civilizations. Not just the Inca, but obviously they’d feature heavily.Ancient Persia, especially the First Persian Empire.The Eastern African coast trade cities, and the people of the Indian Ocean coastline regions. That trade ecosystem.The Islamic Golden Age. Complete with Baghdad during the period where Muslim, Christian, Jewish, and “doubter” scholars collaborated and peer reviewed eachother in one of the greatest centers of learning in world history.Ancient Mesopotamia.</blockquote>
