The world StormWorld, economically, technologically and socially is about on part with the early middle ages for the most part (11th-13th centuries). There are obviously some significant differences as there were no elves, dragons or spell casters during this time. There are also some other anachronisms:

-Gunpowder and flintlock weapons exist, although they are not that common.

-The printing press exists but literacy is so horrible that its demand has not released it's true power.

-There are flying ships!! The most powerful ones are the ones owned and operated by the Trade Guild. There are smaller private (privateer) owned ships, but they are smaller and more fragile.

-Instantaneous communication does exist. While the massive, magical communication networks of the Wizard-King empire are gone, there are still some forms of instant communication available. Most often centered around the Remnant Citites.
