I think one could argue that fantasy isn't based on the reality of the medieval ages, but on the collective beliefs and myths of that era.

As a side effect, though, the countryside would probably be filled with giant snails that you'd have to fight.

I'm putting giant snails into my homebrew world now. It's a skypunk setting so I just have to decide if the snails are native to a specific cloud enshrouded plateau, a flying nuisance species of blimp-mollusks, or an invasive species that shows up everywhere. Maybe all of the above.

All of the above

Flying parasitic mosquito snails.

It's based on Lord of the Rings.
