Stone, iron, and clan
Thick walls, keeps, trenches, reinforced gates, heavy weapons, and practical metalwork define an age where durability matters more than ornament. Tribes consolidate into clans and proto-states.

Warriors who repeatedly survive battle may grow larger, darker, and stronger, allowing accumulated experience to reshape both body and social rank. By the late era, Zurgarthian dominance appears permanent.
