The history here is surprisingly good for a game that sets itself up as fantasy. The music is authentic to the period, the histories of saints are generally both correct and detailed, the history of the cities in place is correct as well. It's also true that the witch-craze of the 1400s originated in this very area of Europe, following centuries of the Church having banned belief in witches. The fears that people had are well-represented. One of the finest role playing games ever written, and one of the finest examples of imagining a historical period.
