* PurelyAestheticEra: Naturally. Some of the potion ingredients you have to find are medieval-themed versions of modern items, such as an "electric lute" and an issue of ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Homes_and_Gardens_(magazine) Better Homes and Castles]]''. In the "Rat Tax" MiniGame, you pay in U.S. currency, way before the U.S. was even close to being a thing. Not to mention, [[EternalEnglish everyone speaks modern English]], and with American accents no less.
