Bronze Age (Rathnir)

The Bronze Age on the continent of Rathnir is one of the longest ages, it takes from 10'000 BTE to 2'000 BTE and it's followed by the Silver Age and preceded by the Obsidian Age.
=== Origins ===
The beginning of the Bronze Age from the oldest finds found can be dated around the tenth millennium BTE in the Syltor region in what remains of the old villages of the Daphimites. However, it is not known whether they were the ones who created the bronze creation process or whether they learned it from the Azerals.
=== Events ===
During the first years it is attested that the Nirites arrived from the east and settled on the coasts and islands, such as the island of Yadir in Nieden, where various finds were found including a tomb, so it can be deduced that the tradition of building tombs and not simply burying the bodies of the dead was already present. In 290 TE during the renovation of the library of the Sirlver Citidel, an ancient map was found which confirms the tradition that Kush, the eldest of the sons of Narid, explored and committed to paper the entire continent of Rathnir. In the following decades, however, the city of Kirif was built, one of the largest cities in the south of Rathnir, which was one of the major trading destinations of the Bronze Age, it is theorized that money did not yet exist at the time, but that barter was in use, in fact the finds of old silver coins show that the elves began to produce and use them only 2000 years before the Jagdasians, and this is where the name Silver Age comes from. In the 7th millennium BTE, the first kingdoms of the Asaravijayans appear, chief among them being that of Haeshan, but they were almost mainly agriculturalists. In the second half of the 6th millennium BTE began to appear the large cities of the Niedene, but around 4000 BTE a period of decline was noted. The Bronze Age ends with the gradual onset of iron use around 2000 BTE, the kingdoms and cities that continued to use bronze gradually fell to those who used iron or went into ruin.
