Issaries is not directly worshiped in Ralios, which is largely Malkioni. He is revered as a siant, but probably doesn't have an independent cult or church structure. Handara is a possible ewxception.

I tend tpo think of it as being earlier than that - 13th century, but with a Renaisance gloss over the upper echelons of society. Note that the area we are talking about is quite small, around lake safelster. Large swathes of ralios are barbarian kingdoms and wilderness.
Still, you're quite right. The historical model you use is largely up to you and should determine roughly how social and economic institutions are organised. An ideal source of gameable material for Ralios is avaliable in the form of Warhammer FRP supplements, currently being republished (in improved form) by Hogshead Publishing.
