I try to avoid relying on real world history to make points in threads such as this simply because Hydaelyn isn't Earth.
It's a fictional setting where you're likely to see someone wielding a bow next to a guy firing a gun who in turn is standing next to someone wielding a rusty sword.
Back when I role-played in WoW it wasn't unusual to see people adhere to flawed perceptions of 'realism' based on their warped perception of Azeroth being 'medieval'. To some extent this was true - but then they ignored the fact that the setting also had futuristic technology and the power of magic.
Both of which pretty much erode away any strict adherence to real world realism/history.
