Lews mentioned airplanes - are we, do we want to be, at that stage yet?
Maybe, but it would be extremely rare and there would be severe complications such as limited range and difficulty finding space to take off and land. Wind-mana guided air baloons would be more common, though still rare.
BTW the map is it the world as it's now? or something else? I've been thinking it could be an alternate dimension. Tectonics and earthquakes etc turned out a quote different but still in large lines similar world.
In my mind so far it has been Earth, simply for ease of transition. If we are drawing the map, then there's little issue with reshaping the world. We can easily see where the lands are in relation to each other. The only problem we might encounter is that the cultures' descriptions fit the current geographical layout.
