- The Iron Age came after the Bronze Age. There was a period of a few centuries when bronze and iron were both used while iron smelting techniques gradually spread. The Iron Age was the period when mankind figured out how to mine and smelt iron ore, and fabricate "things" from the resulting metal. This first occurred around 1200 BCE in Northern Turkey.
- The Great War has ended, oh Diary. The great Nexal Empire crumbled and cracked as the Northern Shintolin Coalition slowly overtook the forces of Masumi and Berserkas, laying waste to the once great cities of Cromahl-Hult and St. Germaine while capturing the City of Gates. Northcamp was spared any aggression as thanks for our unwillingness to participate in the war. The Coalition swiftly dissolved into the sum of its parts, confidant in their victory as the Nexals scattered to the four corners of Shintolin.

- The Iron Age refers to the period of human history following the Bronze Age and which preceded the Middle Ages. It was so named because it represented the first documented occurrences of irony in human cultures. Ironically, it occurred before the invention of the letter Y, so it got stuck with the misleading name of "Iron". All this irony got really fucking annoying really fast, so it figures that it lasted about half a dozen centuries. It was also during this time that sarcasm was invented.
- The Iron Age came after the Bronze Age, there was a period of a few centuries when bronze and iron were both used while iron smelting techniques gradually spread, meanwhile Iron Age Jews believed the parts of the Old Testament that their Bronze Age ancestors had written and wrote further sections of it. There may have been a time when the Israelites had no technology to overcome iron chariots and couldn’t inflict the usual Old Testament Genocide on enemies with iron chariots. see Judges 1 19 and also Iron Chariots this one’s funny. Serious archaeologists are looking for iron chariots in Israel [1] but if these chariots were real they could have been wooden chariots reinforced with iron.

Serious archaeologists are looking for iron chariots in Israel [1] but if these chariots were real they could have been wooden chariots reinforced with iron. Chariots were very powerful compared to other war machines of the time, therefore Bronze Age people as well as Iron Age people thought chariots were worthy of the gods and goddesses. Some Iron Age people also believed that the sun rides through the sky in a chariot, indeed people carried on believing that right into historic times. The Ancient Greeks believed one of their sun gods, Helios rode through the sky in a chariot. The Nordic people believed that wolves Manegarm and Skoll chased the chariot carrying the sun through the sky and would eventually catch and eat her. At about the same time Odin would fall victim to a different wolf who would swallow him. Mythology didn’t become any more sensible while new metal smelting techniques were developing and spreading. And in the 21st Century Christian fundamentalists still believe stuff that's just as silly, like Noah's flood. Some religions haven't impoved at all since the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.

The Nexal War Band gathered its allies and, in what I understand began as a police effort which quickly spun into all-out war, it systematically annihilated the settlements Willow Bend, Transmigrated Afterlife Party, Citruskog, Hillside Tavern, Citrus Hill, and Babylon. The only settlements left in the area are the now abandoned The Void, the Ancient Ruins under control of one of the Nexal's mercenary allies, and Wanderer's Way. --Alonai ...

All this irony got really fucking annoying really fast, so it figures that it lasted about half a dozen centuries. It was also during this time that sarcasm was invented. While the preceding Bronze and Stone Ages are named for the materials in common use at the time, the Iron Age is named for an abstract concept. This, weirdly enough, is not an example of irony, but rather an anthropological example of how dumb people can be when naming things. What is ironic is the fact that many people still have absolutely no sense of irony, yet another example of the Dumb Human Theorem in action.
