Anyone else bothered by Bannerlord's setting?

One thing I like a lot about the original Mount and Blade is its syncretic setting which kind of mixes a lot of different medieval cultures and times, but mostly seems to stick to a vaguely High Medieval time period.

But it sounds like Bannerlord is going to be in a more specifically Dark Age time period. Now this is probably going to be cool, but I'm personally going to miss the knights, factions, and items from the original. The new factions, "Vlandia" for instance, just don't sound as interesting as "Swadia".

I hope I'm wrong and Bannerlord is more expansive than I thought. Think there's a possibility of mods maybe restoring the original or being set in a more High Medieval time period?
