A city like Lud seems more in line with GOO's than with Barony people from the age of the Gunslingers. It may be that Lud was still a thriving modern city after the destruction and the rebuilding of the Beams mechanically, and was one of the places the Gunslingers thrived, for some long time. I won't even begin to speculate how the line of Eld supposedly predates the Great Old Ones, yet simultaneously arose only after their demise.
