So guys as I'm slowly structuring the world which my short stories play in, a somewhat troubling thought came too me. In Godlings, the mentor of the MC is very old... He's about 42 000 Years old - give or take. Amongst his sect he is known as the last godling to "kill" a grand abomination - I'm seriously talking about the unfathomable beings that come from Cosmic Horror here.
Anyway, the even happened about 40 000 Years prior to the current time line in the story. Now I know that that is a very long long time but this world is a fantasy world with elves and mythical creatures and what not, so technically progress is very slow, right?
I mean I know we're all creatures of progress but when I look at it, again we also very traditional and scared of change, so could that be my "excuse" to why the world is still the way it is an has marginally changed in those 40 000 Years?
I'd like your input on this guys. Thanks.
