: Yes, but the setting of the Myth world corresponds with
: those particular centuries (i.e., early Middle Ages)
: and particular countries (i.e., western Europe).
Parts of it do. But parts also correspond to the Romans, assorted South American empires, the Japanese, and Finland (I assume the whole "cannibal baboons worshipping large rocks" thing is based on Finnish culture).
: Actually, without the single pregame pic that seems to be
: depicting a horse (it could conceivably be a large
: donkey) and the narrator's mention of wild horses
: drawing and quartering a Leveller before Ileum,
: there'd be no reason to believe that horses exist at
: all in the Myth world.
GURPS also mentions horses, saying that the main reason Alric doesn't have cavalry is that he hates horses. So we see why most Myth knights wouldn't be mounted--rather than being a sign of high rank as it was in the Middle Ages, it would be a sign that they were willing to royally piss off their emperor.
