Age of bronze

Before Rome, before Caesar, before the rise of Persia or Sparta, the world was forged in bronze. From stone molds and ancient forges in forgotten halls flowed the wealth of ancient kingdoms, the mighty armies of the Hittites and the magnificent wealth of Knossos. By the commands of primeval kings great glittering armies of men and chariots fought bloody wars and expanded their dominions, while on the fringes of civilization barbarian tribesmen fought duels and skirmishes in dark pagan forests and great champions clashed on battlefields. Further to the east, vast hordes of nomads scoured the steppes, falling upon scattered settlements like packs of wolves This is the beginning of civilization, the rise of the first cities and superpowers. The time when the first emperors carved decrees into stone, where nations forged their legacies on the anvil of war. This is a time of heroes, empires, and mighty god-kings. This is the Age of Bronze. Sea people pirates are invading this world.
