It has a seperation of its Rural and Urban life. Rural peasants live primitive lives using wooden implements to tend the soil and paying tribute to the local Lord (Druid/Dog Warrior) whilst within the walls of its cities dwell the Urban nobility and also the main religious functionaries (Clerics). Okay here we find a useful <a href="http://campus.northpark.edu/history//WebChron/Prehistory/Prehistory.html" target="_blank">Chronology</a> and some interesting information on early civilisations which we can use as base fodder for our 'experimentBC 3500This is when <a href="http://campus.northpark.edu/history//WebChron/MiddleEast/Sumer.html" target="_blank">Sumer - the First Civilisation</a> arose and saw invention of Writing and the Wheel. By BC 3000 we have invention of the <a href="http://campus.northpark.edu/history//WebChron/Africa/EgyptShips.html" target="_blank">Egyptian Square-rigged Sail</a> BC 2600Marks the <a href="http://campus.northpark.edu/history//WebChron/Africa/OldKingdom.html" target="_blank">Egyptian Old Kingdom</a> withs its Pyramids and Hieroglyphs.I would suggest that this is about were our Story (ie the Cressian-Jongan Conflict) finds us.The Cressian Empire has begun to expand and incorporates the Islands of Jongan the Hills of Fire and has now made contact with a number of other empires Note: Only the Sumerians had Iron at this point and it does not become widely distributed till about BC 1000 - ergo only one of the Civilisation met by the Cresians should have Iron and even then it should be very rare. - but does mean Birth of the Iron AgeOne of the civilisations which might be interesting to meet is the <a href="http://campus.northpark.edu/history//WebChron/Mediterranean/KnossosPalace.html" target="_blank">Minoan Culture BC 2000</a> - the First European Civilisation and home of the Minotaur<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />!Minoans appear to have had only female goddesses (no/few gods) which makes sense for  the Cressians too<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Another interesting facet of this era is that it saw the rise of both Hinduism and its associated Aesthetics- so we could have religious rivalry and both PSIONICS and MONKS coming into the scenario too<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />PS it is not until BC 330 that we encounter<a href="http://campus.northpark.edu/history//WebChron/Mediterranean/AlexGreat.html" target="_blank">Alexander the Great</a></blockquote>
