It is another place, in a distant time.
A place where an adventuring party will look more like this.....
This is a world of Sword & Sorcery, more Conan than King Arthur. In this world Elves, dwarves and halflings are not common. There are not so much Kings as Warlords. There is no Elminster or Mordenkainen, or Schools of magic. There are Witches, Necromancers, dabblers of the Black Arts!
Priests, cultists and observers of many Gods. Those Gods pay attention too, and it's not always good that they do.
Yes, the Starless Sea definitely had elements of "The Beastmaster", as well as "Conan". And there were even almost some " _ The Magnificent" moments when Alexander practiced his "magic".
