I dont think it can really be argued that learning how to use a gun would somehow hinder the use of magic. Regular mortals IRL learn more than one skill in addition to using a gun. You can go to school for engineering and still be a special forces person. For the same reason you can play in the NBA and go to school for something useful. When you add in that wizards live for centuries, this becomes even more moot
Wookies are kind of giant squirrels, I could see a feral cat population on the surface. I wonder if the is a sentient population on the surface possibly good possibly evil or simply neutral.I think you might get an arm pulled out of the socket for that comparison.
What do you mean? A slope to the sides? or a sloped roof?
How exactly do they get metal for their needs? Trees I can understand can be harvested even if the process is risky, but how can they ever mine in safety. The surface is mist covered and dangerous, so how would they find new mines to suit their needs. Can mines be run for centuries without playing out.
Except they were explicitly stated to be blocking out Etheric effects which cause Madness before eventual Blindness. Not to mention that the Googles are literally at the Core of the Setting, because he started the entire exercise on the Question of "why do they all need to wear goggles?" and by the time he'd answered it he has the setting. (Ill see if I can find the WOJ)
And we know that disclaimer is sometimes fiction as well.
And even more useful as real countries are the cliches about real countries. Some writers hide it better than others by combining, mixing and changing themes but it happens a lot.
Tolkien, Howard, Eddings. Especially in fantasy.
