    Armor at Diesmaar

    In the BoP, it specifically describes Haelyn's shield as wooden with
    iron, so I thought it was safe to assume they were into the iron age, at
    least for such small things as mail and weapons.
    Wouldn't it be an awfully fast advance, for them to go from bronze age to
    a semi-renaissance in just 1500 years?

    Armor at Diesmaar

    Yeah, I came up my vision of Diesmaar before the BOP came out and am
    reluctant to give it up. Diesmaar as Trojan war.

    Interesting...

    I pictured Diesmaar as being early medieval (c 800 AD - Europe), with the
    previous half millennia being sort of a dark age (The 500 years predating
    the 3 year War of Shadow).

    After Diesmaar, things got chaotic for a few years, and then calmed down.
    Reole builds the Empire, and it advances to early renaissance by mid 800 HC.
    Fall of Empire occurs, more dark age, and some recession, so Anuire, at
    least in my mindset, is just now reaching the stages is might have been at
    the height of empire technologically, but certainly not culturally (too
    fractured).
