A lot of fantasy #ttrpg settings have a very stable social status quo, with an assortment of petty kingdoms that never seem to undergo much in the way of social or technological change.
Even _if_ there is a civilization that has a lot of technological or magical advancement, and resulting social change, it is almost inevitable that it will soon collapse and provide yet another set of ruins for future generations of adventurers to delve into.
Thus, it's very pleasing to me to try and figure out a setting that has the same breakneck speed of changes as Earth's 19th century did - if not more so. And hopefully, it reinforces the idea that the player characters CAN change things as well.
