"The middle ages"? This is a complete fantasy world ya know, so they can have technology at whatever level they want. This world is NOT Earth. It's not "a mythical take on the past of our world", so they never once have to consider how that ended up in our world's present, because our world's present will never occur in that world, at any time in the future.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
