I have always tended to see 90% + of them as normal people living normal
lives, with the techno-stuff limited to madmen like Leonardo the
Inventor. God Forgot inventions would be more likely to run amok in the
countryside and have to be "put down", than to be used by the people or
officials.
Peter Metcalf's version is quite engaging, however. Would make a good sci-fi story.

This seems to be a Runequestism -- I would tend to class Bargain as a
Common skill, which is only taught by Issaries, Etyries, etc. Any trader,
from any country, would learn the Bargain skill. Every fishwife in the
world is an expert in it, after all. They just call it Haggle.

I guess _maybe_ an exception can be made in this case. Only for you,
David, only for you.

Because this record was actually written by a Colymar tribesman, only a
few years after all of these events. I doubt he would have made any
mistakes.
