Ok I see your point for groundling nations that are stuck in the
Medieval times, but how would you classify Spelljamming Technology (or
should I say Magology,) is it advance magic? Now don't these cultures that
have to adapt to living in space have the need to advance somewhat in order
to adapt to this environment.
Even in the Spelljamming canon, it would appear that the
spelljamming cultures are in the Renesause era when the Unhuman war 1 ended,
(At least some are) unless I missed something. Now since 300 years have
passed between the Unhuman wars 1 and 2 wouldn't the tech be somewhere in
the 17th or 18th century technology?
