The Mistborn era's do not equate to a specific real world year in history - they meant to evoke an environmental theme. The main reason they do not strictly correlate is because the science is off-sync. For example: The Final Empire had Steel and Tin Canning (1810s), Limelights (1830s) and was meant to evoke Victorian England (mid-to-late 1800s) - but was completely lacking in Firearms and had very minimal understanding of Chemistry (because the science had been suppressed by TLR). So, Era 2 is meant to evoke the rustic and "lawless" American West circa 1900, combined with the Labor Crises and technological age of the 1920s (Electricity, Motorcars) but distinctly behind in Telephonics (Telephone, Telegram, Morse Code, etc.) and just beginning to explore Radio (as seen in BoM part 2). Hope that answers your query. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
