I'm kinda surprised by the literacy level of the villagers.
I wonder how the story ends, since at this point I can only see this as alternate timeline/reality already given that so many inventions were introduced out of time and place, causing too many paradoxes to be fixed conveniently by this point.
Anyway, looks like it's a new recruitable playable character! Or maybe an important historical character from an enemy's faction.
This series is underrated.
