 ====== Age of Empires ====== ====== Age of Empires ======
  
-This was the age of powerful empires and large armies. The population ​of the world had recovered ​to the point that nations ​could not grow without pushing out their neighbors. While alliances ​and marriages averted ​many of these wars, most of them were solved ​by the strength ​of arm and power of magic. People had gone too long without a large war and the nobles had forgotten about its devastating consequences.+The five sanctuaries created by the elves to shield humanity from the dangers ​of the world had been abandoned at the end of the [[lore:​Classic Age]]. Humanity had scattered across ​the world from the snowy plains to the high deserts. Any place humans could claw a living from the world. They had their magicians ​to aid them against ​the dangers of the world, but it was the "​discovery"​ of steel that accelerated their growth and fueled their wars. 
 + 
 +The elder races had long been using steel, but the humans in the sanctuaries ​could not travel freely outside of its boundaries. For 4 millennia they lived in an environment controlled by the elves. Once outside they copied what they saw and their technological advancements increased ten-fold. This allowed humans to live longer lifespans ​and spare many of their children from an early death. Within the span of a millennia humans ​were the largest [[lore:​race]] on [[lore:​Miranda]]. 
 + 
 +Tribes banded together and carved out the first city-states,​ which merged ​by magic and sword into the new empires. This was the longest time between appearances ​of the [[lore:​Eye ​of the Magi]] and humanity conquered the world. In addition to steel; glass, paper, horseshoes, fire water, ​and watermills all accelerated ​the spread of humans. With human settlements near them the elder races began to trade more heavily with the humans, this increased humanity'​s wealth and influence.

-During this age entire empires rose and fell, only to be replaced by the next one. Huge national armies marched across the land, swelling their ranks with the local peasantry. 
  
 The Irillian Empire, while very corrupt at its downfall, brought to the world many benefits. They gave the world the basis for a common language and monetary system. They gave birth to the idea of educating the peasants and raising a professional army. Land ownership began to pass from the hands of the nobility to sharecroppers and merchants. It saw the rise of the merchant class as near equals to the high nobility. The Irillian Empire, while very corrupt at its downfall, brought to the world many benefits.
