______________________________________________________________________



Elfic Heroic Age Bronze Age


The mid to late Bronze Age. Lasting 5,000 years. It collapsed with the rise of iron and the rise of the dwarven kingdoms. ending the Elves 1st era of power. 


Zaxulum Empire: The First Elven Empire in Urland. The Zaxulum were at their strongest during this age. In the Iron age they would be annexed and conquered by the Dwarva Empire and later in history they would continue to be conquered.


Felinia kingdom: The recorded First Felinian Civilization, and one of the oldest civilizations in Thedorian history. 


Proto Northmen tribes:The tribes of Frankigoth, Gael, Conan, and Kelic were the major cultures in the north. These are the ancestors of modern Northmen Civilizations, and were agricultural societies that used bronze tools and weapons. Dwarcenean traders introduced a them to the chariot as well.


Wood elf Tribes : Wood Elf Tribes who lived a mostly nomadic life style. They share the same culture and language with each other, and so it is thought these early wild elf tribes evoled separate from the Feligroth people group. Early Wood Elf cultures and people groups consisted of the swamplanders(ancestors of the swamp elves), The Ellehill people, The Fae People, The redhand people, and many others. Wood Elf tribes mostly used stone and very limited use of copper and bronze for their weapons and tools. The only people group that is recorded to use bronze is the Fae people group. In the Iron Age the a few Wood Elf tribes would  slowly become stationary farming communities, and discover metal lurgy. This would important step would help advance the Wood Elf Tribes into becoming what they are in Modern Thedoria. 

the cheifdom of Silvia: A Cheifdom part of the Feligroth people group. Named after the modern archaeologist Fae Faligroth who first discovered the ruins of this civilization. The Feligroth people were a rural agricultural people group. The Cheifdom known as Silvia was on of the many cheifdoms discovered. Later on in the iron age many of these chiefdoms would be annexed by the Dwarva Empire. Elves of the Feligroth people group were known to be extremely talented in magic. 


Xia Shan Dynasty: First Dynasty of the Sun Elf people. The Xia Shan was the Smallest of all Sun Elf dynasties, however it was the longest lasting. Lasting from the early Bronze age all the way to the iron age. It would be replaced with the Xiao Han Dynasty  The Xia Shan were one of the most advanced civilizations of the Arothian continent, and helped many other people groups around them advance to the bronze age, and later the iron age. Because they are separated by vast oceans, the Arothian iron age, and Urlandian iron age started for very different reasons. 


Xexes Empire: The Perzarali Dynasties go all the way back to this empire. The Xexe empire is the first Perzarali Dynasty. Their power would be greatly diminished after the Aledorian Campaigns, and their Empire would be fully annexed 200 or so years after the Aledorian Campaigns. The Xexes Empire during the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age would be well known as a massive hub for trade, and the luxurious fabrics and hand made goods that were being created within the empire. The Xexes Empire was situated between two massive empires, and so they were always on the defense, as these two empires would try anything to get their hands on the fertile farmlands, the tin rich mountains and the massive trading hub that made up the Xexes Empire. Due to this threat, the Xexes Empire had a well armed military.


desert orc Tribes : Bronze Age Orc Tribes were semi nomadic people with access to flimsy chariots and bronze or copper armor and weapons. Some Desert Orc Kingdoms would pop up as well, but for the most part Desert Orcs were a semi nomadic people.


Gnollian tribes: Bronze Age Gnollian Tribes were semi nomadic people with access to flimsy chariots and bronze or copper armor and weapons. Gnolls mostly used copper and flint weapons and tools as bronze was very rare for them to find. 


Dwarcenean Civilzation  One of the four major Dwarven Civilizations of the Thedorian Bronze AgeThe Dwarcenean Citystates were a Shore Dwarf civilization made up a collection of dwarven kingdoms and city-states in the southern part of the islands of wealth, as well as some parts of southern Ceonira. They would be well known as a excellent navigators and sailors, exploring a large amount of Urland and Ceonira by boat, and mapping it all. The Dwarcenean City-states were excellent craftsmen, and builders as well. Building amazing works of art, out of marble, and masterfully creating cities and fortresses where they would live in. These Dwarves were amazing ship builders as well, and designed some of the first galleys Thedoria as ever seen. These Galley designs were so good that they were adopted by almost every civilization in Urland. Metal urgy was also a craft the Dwarves were excellent with, however the unlike the Deep Dwarf Civilizations, and Mountain Dwarf Civilizations of the time, Metal Urgy as not their strong point, and so they adopted many things from their fellow Dwarven Civilizations.

 During the later part of the Heroic age these Dwarves would land in modern day Rojopais, and begin to build a trading post. little did they know, the local population were warlike and saw these peaceful traders as invaders and attacked them. The Dwarven people in response sent a force of 500 Dwarven warriors to protect their new colony. Causing the Dwar-Roj war to spark up. for 7 years the two civilizations would be at odds with one another in the war until the rojian people were fully annexed. The Dwarcenean Civilization would last for 300 more years after the war until the discovery of iron, and a change of government. From a collection of kingdoms and city states to a united Empire basically over night.  The Dwarva Empire would rise which would last for over nearly 1000 years.


Snow Elf Order of the White Fey: Snow Elves have always had some sort of religious order of warriors and fighters. Men and Women who will protect the people from Thedoria at any cost. The Order of the white fey is no different. They live as nomads. wandering the world, helping anyone and defending the weak.


Kingdom of Roj: Ancestors of the Rojopais EmpireThe Roj Kingdom was part of the Ispan people group. A ancient human people group that called the Rojian Peninsula home. The Kingdom of Roj was a warlike kingdom where might makes right, and the mightiest ruled over all. In Roj, a king was chosen out of a large group of competing warlords after a one on one duel. If the current king killed his rival, the king would continue to rule, if his rival killed him, the rival, and his family would rule. This system of succession only worked if the rival was not of the king's blood. If the king died not in battle against a rival, his first born son would be king. Now Warlords act as nobles in Rojian society. Warlords control a large area of land, and protect the farmers and shepherds of his land from harm. Warlords had a small group of career soldiers as well. These elite soldiers acted as bodyguards, and were armed in expensive bronze scale armor, and fought on chariot or on foot. The Warlords would fight amongst themselves as well as fighting, and conquering other kingdoms.  These warlike people were annexed by the Dwarva Empire in the late Bronze Age after a brutal 7 year war. 


Ava City States: Ava City States were the ancestors of the Avabian Shiekdoms. They were a collection of city states located on the shore of the Avabian Peninsula. Each city state was ruled by a king and their princes. The City states were surrounded by hostile nomadic tribes and so the citystates were always underattack. Due to the constant fear of attack, many of these city states would build impressive fortress cities. In wartime the princes would fight with a shield bearer. His Shield bearer would protect him from harm, while the prince fought with either a large two handed weapon or two one handed weapons.  They were annexed by the Dwarva Empire in the iron age.


as well as countless other cultures and tribes who did not take much of a huge role.
