Hi! I’m still new to the Lore so bear with me. As I was brewing my campaign within the Forgotten Realms I started to get lost how the wider world economics even looks like. The continents are represented, like Asia being Kara-Tur, Maztika is Mesoamerica and so forth, and they also counterpart our Earth on their historical discovery. But also being a Fantasy world RAW there are tomatoes and potatoes available in Faerun, and there is the whole Monk class running around for example. I wanted to sprinkle references in like Tea from Malatra served in a lord’s manor, and there is Pumpkin from Revonar, but it also made me wonder, is that lore-accurate? Could there be chocolate? The ports along the Sword Coast, who do they trade with?
Mostly because Faerun is at times classically medieval, but other times Renaissance post-Columbian, and there is like gunpowder and magical machinery. Then occasionally concepts like Barbarians and Druids date to older civilizations almost Viking or Germanic. Thanks for some insights! :>
