In the era after the age of dawn and night and after the crisis of the first peoples a start with the striking of bronze upon red iron is wrought across the world ringing. The children of forgone civilisations upon the soil arise as a phoenix to strike out once again upon the known world; Cel Ati as she watches attentively the affairs of life. It is a time since the crisis of the first peoples, a great calamity that befell worldly civilisation on Cel Ati that left violence rife and harvests poor; many died young. However the peoples across Cel Ati have made their stake back into the land of the known world, cities flourish with the vibrancy for a new era for society, art, architecture, and politics.

However don't be fooled, while the world is in a far better shape than it was two centuries ago, it is still a violent and dangerous place. City-states to infant empires quarrel and fight, while those with nothing to lose turn to thievery and banditry and in some cases carve out new domains for themselves. It is the year of 238 from the collapse of the first people. The gods are afoot to secure their loyal devotee's domains and secure their worship amongst the typical inter-deific conflict that arises, and as such In the near-east it stirs. Emerging princes and despots find cause for war to reclaim the distant forgotten empires of their birthrights of an age long-past. War and campaigns are inevitable.
