The Igrans became more atheist. Bronze was made and tools and weaponry improved and people started to grow crops and domesticate animals like horses

## Important Events

### Beginnings of Bronze Age

According to the white tribe Alyankans and the white tribe Ysluvians it all started where Myras is now, since the land around Myras was rich in Sulfur, stone and coal, the Ysluvians who lived there started collecting these perculiar rocks, coal especially, they traded this around, going all the way around all the Ysluvians and white tribe lands they passed coal around, eventually the whitetribe started trying to trade this coal with other civilisations, this failed, they didn’t want coal, so the white tribe experimented with the coal and burnt it. Learning of its properties in making large amounts of heat for a prolonged time. This resource was of especially desire by the alygrans who discovered the first gold, quickly valueble and important, they wanted to sell and trade this gold quickly before other nations started discovering their own gold deposits and lowering the value of the gold, the easily moulded gold is hard to measure so, they thought they would melt the gold into rings to sell and trade with. This scored the white tribe a valuable skill, gold panning, they learnt from the alygrans before anyone else gold panning, this made the whitetribe and their ysluvian friends rich, with coal, which now became a commodity, and gold. Making them subject to invasion.

### Discovery of Tin

Vara, 205 human age, a group of monks traveled into the land of the alsyel tribes, see they had some small trades with the alsyel, they recognised they had made necklaces out of a odd rock, they called it tiinl, the vara was subject to a trade route between the alygras and the white tribe, meaning that they traded and culturally connected to the white tribe in hopes of getting a price of the coal and gold cake alygras and the whitetribe were keeping mainly to themselves, although the monarchy of alyanka and the igrans caught on to this, the vara kept close ties to the white tribe. The monks searched the alsyel tribal land, starting basically a war with them, they discovered a lot of tiinl or what’s now called tin in the mountains of alsyel and attempted to melt this down too, created the first tin based items. They continued to perfect the tin making as the alsyel tribes got angrier and angrier. This new discovery made a boom in geology in all the human based countries.

### Discovery of Copper

Trade and relations within alyanka sped up and revolutionised a new trade route going into alyanka to igras and down to karakjava was made, as more countries found their own tin deposits and gold too, the white tribe was fairly isolated from the trade now, this started a war, the vara walked along the coasts down to igras, a long travel, they wanted in on this trade, so they took over a island near igras, which angered the igrans, the vara people there on that island built a fort, one made specifically to incourage trade to come into the fort on boat, the first people to do this is the alygrans, so Igras attacked and invaded alygrans and the vara, but with the superior made tin weaponry and more experience on boats the alygrans and vara defeated igras and kept their ground. As a result of this the monarchy of alyanka wanted to help igras defeat them so they studied and experimented to get superior weaponry and tools, and so they found copper, they mixed the copper with the tin and made bronze, the dominant resource now needed by everyone, so before they started using this bronze they made sly deals and trades to get as much tin as possible, they realised that copper is way more common than tin, so if they had it all bronze would be expensive for the other countries. The alyankans armoured with ramshackle bronze armour and poorly made sword and weapons invaded vara and won, they got a lot of their gold, coal and tin. After this, the concept of bronze spread like wildfire everywhere

### The Ancient War

the white tribe had gotten too big for the monarchy of alyankas liking, they wanted to cripple their countries economy, but the white tribe had allies, many of them, alyanka and igras organised a multi pronged attack, the igrans sent their army through alyanka towards the top of the white tribes lannd while the monarchy of alyanka sent their troops through the mountains to cut off vara from the white tribe, on this trip through the mountains it was dangerous and killed and injured many troops, meaning they had to rest for a while before they could start the attack, the alyankans attacked early compared to the igrans because the igrans werent used to the weather and needed lot of clothing to stay warm in the environment, so by the time the igrans attacked the white tribe were prepared for them. this attack caused for vara to attack igras, but the skill of the igrans with their strong culture of swordsmanship and their secret linchpin, Linites, the white tribe and vara have never seen linites before, they thought they were demons, monsters, the igran marched linite prisoners as cover, as a moving wall to protect from arrow fire, they didnt expect the vara people to flee when seeing moving clay. the igran army got a solid foothold in upper white tribe and protected their home from vara, continued to push at vara at the same time the alyankans cut off the white tribe from the vara people, the alyankans didnt go as well, but at that moment the white tribes southern land was surrendered and alyanka closed up the white tribe trade route. funneling all the trade through alyanka. but there was another thing they won, slaves, they enslaved tons of white tribe people inwhich the slave trade begun, where they sold linite, ysluvian, whitetribe and mushruls as slaves around the world. after this, momentous win igras became truly igras, igras the woman invades ootka city.

### Slavery

within the ideals of yslalchiv slavery is wrong, but to bishlai and the new emerging faith of mung within bangyurkan it’s fine, so both from the current monarch ignoring this violation of faith for profits, the direct profit to the people and alyankas allies being fine with slavery, they allowed it. Alyanka mainly used mushruls and ysluvians as slaves, while igrans used mainly linites as slaves, the karakyalvians were big slavers, the javins were too, but there was bangyurkan, the king recently made the mung faith which supported slavery, but for baromsyk based believers slavery is completely wrong, so barosylia started a war with bangyurkan.
