[If they're going to chat for a while she may as well get comfortable. Setting her stack of books off onto the table she tries to think how best to explain it.]
My continent is split by the Wall into countries; the Old Kingdom in the north and Ancelstierre in the south. In Ancelstierre the people are very science and technology oriented, more looking to the future you could say but compared to lands where space travel is possible we're still exploring the development of airplanes.
Now the Old Kingdom is a country very much dominated by the past. Anything machine made from Ancelstierre falls apart once it crosses the Wall to the north but in place of technology we have Charter magic and Free magic. Consider Luceti without any electricity or hot water and it'd be very close to a typical village in the Old Kingdom.
