What it says on the tin. I would like to know if there is some setting around that uses a somewhat realistic portrayal of a Low Middle Ages/Early Modern Age society. You know, with Colleges/Universities, professional and social guilds, martial arts societies like the Brotherhoods of St Mauritius, St George, St Sebastian and St Mark, realistic town/city councils, feudal lords and churches...etc.
Of course, magic would have to be very rare, otherwise society would be nothing like that...
The closest fit I can think of is the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting, but educational institutions are too magic-oriented around most of Tellene. I would like magic learning to be something that was taught in a clandestine place like the Cave of Salamanca (http://salamanca-spain.info/history/history-of-salamanca/salmantinas-legends.php#cave) rather than in a full-fledged magical college.
I guess that, taking into account how many third-party world settings are around, at least one would fit my requirements.
Thank you very much in advance to anybody who answers.
