    Evolution/De-Evolution of cultures in a post-apocalyptic setting?

    So in one of my books/writing projects that I'm currently working on, I'm in the early stages of outlining and worldbuilding. The world in question, Telosza, is essentially going to be a sort of dark fantasy/post-apocalyptic fantasy world. One thing to note about all of my fantasy stories is...
