Second Era

The second era was a testimony to the achievements of men. The River Delta Civilization flourished. Trade-craft and minting were invented, which added to the wealth and success of the region.

It was also during this era, the first men settled the eastern continent, establishing the birth of what would later become the city-states of the east. However, oppression, segregation, and slavery were dominant in this region, and as warring clans fell upon the city-states from the north, many were left to their fate, venturing into the vast steppes and living as nomads always on the move as to avoid the dangers from the north. This is believed to be the foundation of the Steppe Nomads as we know them today.

The River Delta Civilization possessed other crafts and formed the first system of literature and writings. Most of what we know about the second era, we find from the scraps of scorched scrolls of the ruins of libraries around the region. Most of them are scientific writings and testimonies of the great struggles for prosperity. However, those scribes from the present time who has been able to dig deeper into the meaning of the scrolls have found dark secrets of old.

Sometime towards the end of the second era, the River Delta Civilization suddenly collapsed. Rivalry with neighboring states and political infighting had been weakening the region throughout a period spanning a century. Whether it is the presence of powerful necro-mages and their armies or the famine that followed, an estimated 1200 years of prosperity came to an end with the second era.
