Era beginning/end
The Beta Era held significant changes for the common folk of the New Realm. They took control of leadership, created a strong sense of unity with the Unified Religion, and built trade and agriculture.
Through the Freedom Treay, the Alpha War Lords conceded their power over to Beta Kings. This was a significant transfer of power as it gave the common folk more freedom to buy land, build wealth, and trade between each other.
Prior to the Freedom Treaty, the Alpha War Lords controlled all aspects of their lands, who they could trade with, and controlled all wealth and regulations. The common folk had no power over decisions that affected their livelihoods.
This changed after the Freedom Treaty. The Beta Kings created new trading agreements that benefited the common folk. They developed the Unified Religion. which quelled insurections from marganilized groups. Lastly, they created guilds that streamlined the development of technologies, medicine, architecure, and farming practices. This often is called by historians, The Period of Peace.
Most notably, the slave trade emerged as a prominent trade throughout the New Realm.
