Generally speaking, Remorra has a typical high-fantasy technology level. For clarification, here are some specifics on questionable technology:
Gunpowder
Gunpowder does exist, for these uses:
- Cannons - cannons are very rarely seen, other than on some naval ships of the world's largest kingdoms.
- Fireworks - very common for celebrations
- Dynamite - is used as a tool for mining. People don't associate its power with combat, however goblin hand grenades do exist.
Handguns and rifles do not exist, except in extremely rare cases, like maybe an end campaign boss pirate or something similarly powerful.
Compasses do not exist. Navigation is done by using the stars, major landmarks, or magic scrying. Like cannons, spyglasses only exist in well-financed nautical fleets. There are no binoculars.
Printing
Printing presses do not exist. All printing (which is little more than bottle labels) is done using the wood block printing method. (Carve a piece of wood in reverse, roll ink onto it, press it onto paper.)
