Actually that varies depending on when and when the campaign is set in. The period right after June 26th, 1050 CE (the date the Banestorm was cast) was filled with confusion and danger.

I should point out the Blessed advantage exists on Yrth. The Mystic (pg 212) and Priest-Wizard (pg 214) "classes" (professions) are two such examples. This means that there is something "giving" out the equivalent of Magery. This is supported by the fact (revealed in 3e Yrth) that more people know spells then have magery proper even in low mana areas.

A lot is made of the realism of Yrth but even in the c1000 to c1200 when most of the humans were brought to the world Christianity was already fragmented thanks to isolation and the Great Schism that became Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. Heck even in the 2nd century Christianity was fragmented and what little efforts in standardization attempted fell apart with Rome in the 5th century. That anything even remotely like 15th century Christianity exists on Yrth is one of those perhaps there it more here then at first appears hooks for adventures.
