 ====== Nations of the Early Ages ======
-**The Early Ages** (also known as the Early Age, or EA) is the First of Three eras that one can set their Ascension War in. The world has just exited an era of legends and myth, where overpowered and unrefined forces walked upon the Earth, leaving thirty-three factions that one can choose to helm or conquer.\\
+**The Early Ages** (EA) is one of three [[Ages|eras]] that the Player can set their game in.
-\\ Click on the flags to get to the in-depth pages for each nation.
+EA is defined by bronze age technology and a high level of magic in the world. Compared to games set in the Middle Ages (MA) or the Late Ages (LA), EA games have the highest level mages, the most magic sites, the lowest populations, and the highest prevalence of mythical beings.

Ulm prefers raids with bands of cheap and Stealthy fighters, which can outflank enemy armies and take advantage of their poorly-defended conquests.

 <WRAP column half> Lanka is Kailasa's arch-enemy, and the reason that Kailasa is around in the Early Ages. The heads of Lanka are the Rakshasas, Half-Giant Demon-Ogres that thrive in Chaos. Their Blood-Hunting techniques require Chaos, and they love to eat the flesh that they find. The biggest and strongest of them antagonized Kailasa's divinities until both sides got bored and left, but the lowlier groups lingered and have recently awakened. Though some argue that the Yakshas were behind the evolution of the Bandar Log, the Rakshasas supposedly made first contact, and have already sired half-Bandar children with their captives. These children are ravenous & sacred (to Lanka), just like their mothers. </WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:ea:lanka:raksharaja.png?nolink}} {{:nations:ea:lanka:rakshasi.png?nolink}}\\ {{:nations:ea:lanka:kala-mukha.png?nolink}} {{:nations:ea:lanka:kala-mukha_warrior.png?nolink}} {{:nations:ea:lanka:possessed_corpse.png?nolink}}\\ {{:nations:ea:lanka:mandeha.png?nolink}}

-<WRAP column half> Berytos is the closest thing to Carthage and the Phoenician city-states that Dominions has to offer. It's a descendent of a Kingdom from the previous era, which was sunk beneath the waves when its physical gods flexed their hubris a bit too far. Though it maintained the Kingdom's old legacy and reconnected with the other former colonies, Berytos still had to replace its evidently-dead pantheon, and decided to fill the void with the Melqart kings of Hinnom. The priesthood is led by former Lion Queens, who fled Machaka with some of their sons and have now pledged themselves as "Brides-in-Waiting" to the new gods.

 <WRAP column half> Therodos is a strange Kingdom that doesn't realize that it's already dead. It's the ancestor of Berytos, formerly led by storm Titans known as the Telkhines, and now led by the Telkhines' tiny apprentices who narrowly avoided destruction. These apprentices are able to breathe underwater, so they led their relatively-enormous Hekateride sisters to the undersea crater of their Kingdom to check the damage, unwittingly awakening the ghosts of those killed in the sinking. The ghosts were banned from the Underworld and thus act like they're still alive, much to the dismay of anyone actually alive in Therodian lands. For some weird reason, civilians in Therodian Dominion are prone to joining the ghosts, so act fast if you like gold! </WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:ea:therodos:daktyl.png?nolink}} {{:nations:ea:therodos:hekateride.png?nolink}} {{:nations:ea:therodos:melia.png?nolink}}\\ {{:nations:ea:therodos:ephor.png?nolink}} {{:nations:ea:therodos:spectral_philosopher.png?nolink}}\\ {{:nations:ea:therodos:telkhine.png?nolink}}
