Nex, this is what has been agreed upon, more or less:

[quote]See, I had thought a massive undefined event set us back so totally every polity disintegrated into warring tribes and most written information was lost.  From there culture evolved by word of mouth even as people forgot the old world, leading to old concepts being bastardized and pre-disaster history becoming mythology.  What I'd gleaned from the OP was that it had taken just over a millennium for us to work our way up to the RP and in that time we had a huge history where technology was largely forgotten or seen as magic until it's 'rediscovery' as science began to make sense of what remained allowing us to found the nations we have now.[/quote]

If you don't like it, then why post?  The rest of the players here obviously have no problems with the setting and I HIGHLY doubt the GM is going to alter the entire RP to gratify you.
