[quote=@Kejmur] So to keep it short it wasn't technology (and genius minds) which actually pushed advancement of humanity (although in this case it would be more fitting to say sentient beings/humanoids) but magic was responsible for that progress... well, sounds cool to me. Although isn't this kind of similar to D&D Eberron (not sure if you heard about it) ? [/quote] I'd like to think it was a bit of both. People's fear (and interest) in magic furthered the desire to discover its secrets. Meanwhile, these discoveries about magic helped to enhance other technological marvels. While I haven't played Eberron, I'm sure there are quite a few settings that are similar. My intent wasn't to be the most original in terms of setting, but to create an original and unique experience through world building and character interaction. I'm definitely taking influences from Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Fable, D&D, etc. I'm hoping that the players and I can work to make it more than just a period piece. I hope that helps, and thank you for the questions! It's helping me put the ideas to [s]paper[/s] keyboard.
