Warring Clans

Overview
This age so the rise and fall of many warlords and greedy guilds who sought power during this war-torn time. Clans of Pash Hof, Shimjyar, Yen Peekwa, and Nidtad are some of the most prominent clans on Ha. Fos saw the Empire of Byekh Ta and its infighting. Wars of succession within Yen Peekwa splintered the clan into many small but economically powerful communities that were the beginnings of the House of Straidokh. While Kurians were able to domesticate zawhi, the local starch-plant that is kind of like bamboo, quick growing resources for consumption made it difficult to wage ongoing war. Elementary biowarfare of sneaking in plague and parasite ridden children debuts in the siege of Oon, E3 928. Metallurgy and weapon refinement excelled during this time. Years of active, off-shore volcanoes and deep canyons led to large iron, tin, and copper deposits on Ha. Fos had a sturdier type of plant called fyeza, a blocky shrub that strangely excels in the rare boreal biome, especially along the salt-water coasts of the north. The Era doesn't close until House Daelek reestablished control of Fegdyemsunoma, The Path of Trade. While there were still wars and skirmishes for land, trade along the eastern half of Ha flourished. The stability of trade in this half of Ha and trade with the Nissan Islands lead to power in the east.

Background
By the third era, small farming towns had sprung up all over the continent of Ha, and some small amount of traders existed. Nomadic trading caravans were common on the western coast, trading livestock and various baubles. Trading spouses was a common occurrence as well, as during the very early stage of the third era there was a stigma against marrying relatives. In the southern peninsula, offshore divers discovered pearls from local seafaring crustaceans. These expensive trinkets were the cause of small skirmishes through the mountain pass leading to the rest of the mainland, and would be the beginning of many bloody battles and rivalries.

In the lush grasslands of the eastern coast, farming villages gave way to collective tribes who in turn united into rudimentary empires and kingdoms. In the river deltas bordering the mountains, powerful clans united to coalitions and federations. The Islands of Nassan began to ship large quantities of tin and aluminum to the mainland. The canyon in the north shipped dyes and sandstone.
