Anachronisms in fantasy

Postby Janus%TheDoorman » Thu Oct 18, 2007 10:31 pm

Maybe it just didn't notice as a kid, or didn't have all this preconcieved notions and connotations to go along with words that really don't have any meaning other than the one given to them by the language itself, but...

I don't care how you cut it, but medieval Barons did not have a "Diplomatic Corps" who handled "foreign policy".

A Chancellor to recall an ancient blood pact made between long buried ancient heroes? Sure. A Scribemaster to negotiate the end of lawless war that's ravaging the borderlands? No problemo.

Just a small pet peeve of mine, but I'm wondering if anyone else shared in my annoyance.
