Awakening Era

In the region of Dravia settlements/villages grow large enough to be considered towns. They become the first bastions of humanity. Basic concepts of government such as laws and military are developed. Lacking many features of stability and centralized authority of later eras, the nations at this stage are primitive in organization. Most monsters are no longer a problem to a fortified town, however due the overwhelming number of monsters, humans are unable to expand their cities beyond the extent of their military manpower, severely limiting growth. Dragons are still a threat- although the larger cities can fend of a minor dragon attack at a high cost, smaller settlements are often destroyed.
