@sarah-inkdragon It took me a while to find my tag in your post XD

@hope-ann What an interesting topic. I’m assuming that by technology you mean like inventions and things. Since I know nothing about the past of my fantasy world (Well, I know nothing until the Crown Prince gets banished) I can’t really say how it has evolved.

In my book it’s basically Magic Users with cell phones. I’ve got a team of Aurorean elves in the background working on developing extremely high tech stuff with the help of magic (as opposed to the Avian Elves, which are basically your go-to elf when I say ‘Elf”).

Also since I have 13 different worlds in my book(s) it gives me a lot of freedom to say which worlds are, as Daeus put it, in the first type of fantasy box, and which ones are in the second type fantasy box.

Also, since my world is extremely messed up, I tend to have a lot of seemingly random time periods floating around, and random people from each time period (though it might just be their longevity, inability to age, and that one team of time travelers that completely destroyed some…stuff). There’s swords, yet there’s guns. There are laws, yet there aren’t. So, um, I’m not the best at worldbuilding. (Though, it also, might be, um, that I use the whole ‘anarchy’ thing as an excuse to hide behind)

But I haven’t given them iPhones yet, and I don’t really plan on giving them that kind of new tech. Let them have flip phones, ride horses, and swing swords. I don’t really want to go beyond 2010 for tech.

Also I have realized that I don’t have any explanations for any of this so it is a pretty good time to come up with something…

I don’t believe that i have read any fantasy with technology like I have just talked about. In fact, I’ve only ever really seen Tolkien type fantasy…

I don’t think I have a point here, I guess I am too random…

Another thing is that most of the fantasy stuff isn’t even really what you think of when you say fantasy, it’s more…abstract…is there a name for that? Where everything is basically in like a big white place where time is weird and the Train of Souls runs by…? Like a blank space…that’s not even earth….

So, yeah, after all of that, I don’t even know if I can call myself fantasy anymore. And I feel like a lot of you would be really offended by this…

Or not…

So I guess my only explanation for all of this is that near immortal Magic Users were kinda ahead of people in the Real World, and they brought what they thought was cool along with them to the present day era.
