Ancient Era
As centuries passed, Dhuman civilization continued to grow and expand across the world. The age of villages slowly ended, and a new era began.
This was the Ancient Era.
During this time, Dhuman society organized itself into seven major civilizations. Each one developed on a different part of the world, inspired by the land and spirit of the continent where it grew.
The first civilization rose in Asia and was called Sia. It became known for its scholars, builders, and early technological discoveries.
The second civilization appeared in Europe. The Dhuman living there simply called their land E. They were calm and relaxed people who preferred peaceful living over rapid expansion.
In Africa, a powerful and vibrant civilization called Sunnyj formed. Their cities were built near rivers and fertile lands, making them strong in farming and trade.
In North America, the Dhuman civilization known as Blueback grew across forests and mountains. They became skilled explorers and builders.
In South America, a civilization simply known as South developed among jungles and rivers. Their communities focused on nature and harmony with the environment.
Australia was home to a unique civilization called Wildlife of Fou, where Dhuman lived closely with nature and studied the animals of their continent.
Even though these civilizations lived on different lands, they did not isolate themselves.
They knew of each other and traded regularly across oceans and land routes. Ships and bridges connected their territories, allowing knowledge and goods to travel quickly between continents.
Technology advanced steadily during this time. Dhuman engineers developed improved tools, stronger building methods, and even early forms of gunpowder weapons. These weapons were rarely used for war, but mostly for protection or hunting.
The Dhuman political system was also unusual.
They did not believe in kings or queens.
Instead, every civilization chose a leader through voting. Every four years, the people would gather and elect someone they trusted to guide their society.
Taxes existed, but they were kept low so that communities could grow and remain stable.
Peace remained the core belief of Dhuman culture.
Because the seven civilizations trusted one another and traded freely, technology and knowledge spread faster than ever before.
For many generations, the Dhuman world lived in harmony.
But even in a peaceful world, change was slowly approaching.
