Pax Dei and Verisimilitude

Is you is, or is you ain’t of this world?

Pax Dei is not our world. It is not a copy of medieval Europe, neither geographically nor when it comes to countries and locations. It is one of the endless possible parallel creations in a universe ruled by the divinity the medieval mind believed was real. A world that is pressured from all sides by the enemies of the Divine and contains all sorts of beings hiding from the Divine, the Enemy below, or both. In making the Pax Dei setting and lore, we have created for ourselves a sandbox of sorts. We have gathered the elements and ideas of what people held true about Life, the Universe and Everything, back in the early middle ages, and then… We gave it a little shake. This means that a lot of the things you see in the world will definitely ring some bells, you may think you know how things behave or where they are from, and often you will be right. But you will also be wrong a lot of times.
