After the development of bronze it was only a matter of time for mankind to realize that it needs an easy-to-find, easy-to-work-with metal on which to base its technology. Iron is the logical choice - somewhat less strong than bronze, it is nevertheless a single metal, and not an alloy, and it is found in abundance. And so, a new generation of weapons rise - iron weapons, used by a new warrior - the Swordsman. Building upon the experience of earlier metal working, the blacksmiths are able to make these new weapons much more deadly than previous ones.
