During Twilight Era

The Twilight era represented the slow rebirth of mortal development and intellectualism.
In the realm of labor technology, the powers of water and wind were harnessed for the purposes of mechanical processes and agricultural growth.
New and extraordinary methods of metallurgy and smith-craft advanced mortality’s collective knowledge. In Anivollos, distant from much Qadayen strife, smiths developed the means to sufficiently heat and form Esheryne and Ebonstone that it might be forged into weapons and armor.
Literacy and education increased throughout this period due to several significant developments regarding the recreation and production of written materials. The first among them was called ‘book bleeding’ wherein ink was applied to a topmost page of thick paper. Whatever was going to be written was penned with this strong ink. The ink was also thick, so it did not wash across the page easily. However, the laborer must be quick to gather a number of thinner papars, around 10 at most, and piling them beneath the single thick page, ink upward. After, the thick paper is pressed down evenly with a metal plate, causing the whole stack to crunch down to less than a finger’s width. The plate remains for around half an hour without movement. It is then raised and the pages complete. Beneath are 10 completed pages of sufficient visual fidelity, though the choosey reader might prefer the hand-written iterations instead. The second is closely related and is known as picture binding. It is timelier but allows pictures and decorative elements to be added to books produced with the aforementioned methods.
In terms of politics and mortal loss, the Great Conflict was a disaster. However, the destruction of Nathrovas and associated bloodshed did little to halt the greater trends of technological and intellectual growth along the Middle Belt.
