Bronze Age

AN: This page is nowhere near finished yet. I'm gonna finish it at some point but rn it's just the same as the short blurb on the history of Hejelnik.

The Bronze Age is a historical period that was characterised by the use of bronze, (in some areas) proto-writing and other early features of urban settlements like currency systems, structured hierarchy and organised religion. The Three Factions Calendar also originates from this time period. An ancient civilisation is defined to be in the Bronze Age either by producing bronze through smelting of its own copper and alloying with tin, arsenic or other metals or by trading for bronze from production areas elsewhere. Bronze itself is harder and more durable than other metals that would have been available at the time allowing Bronze Age civilisations to gain a technological advantage. Whilst iron is naturally abundant, its high melting point placed it out of reach of common use.
