[QUOTE="Imp, post: 3561295, member: 40094"] Mine is kind of a mash of classical, Renaissance, Reformation, and a little bit of roughly turn-of-the-century European elements, though tech levels vary and there are some backwater areas that are still quite medieval. The advanced countries have republican governments with varying degrees of oligarchy, slow lighter-than-air airships to supplement their naval fleets, flying dragoons on mounts, handheld firearms in smallish quantities, and the rare magical construct helping things out. There are a variety of intellectual movements and influential thinkers, paralleling both classical Greece and the early modern era a bit. The less advanced countries have vaguely constitutional monarchies that are beginning to centralize, some cannons, and knights/ holy knights as an elite warrior class, though the feudal system is on the wane in those countries. The quote unquote barbaric edges of the world have generally got small-scale autocracies or councils of elders, and a variety of different customs and superstitions. All lands are heavily influenced by oracular pronouncements, but these areas even more so. The dominant religions are nominally monotheistic with schisms, but old gods are worshipped along the less civilized borders, and syncretic cults find purchase in most large cities. The classical POV that people who claim to worship different gods than you are, in fact, worshipping the same god by a different name and different methods is still somewhat dominant, but the less tolerant doctrines of heresy & such are beginning to hold sway. Purges and religious wars may be on the horizon. [/QUOTE]
