From publisher blurb: Audhüm is a land that has just entered the Iron Age, whose races are founding the first great civilizations. Written language for the race of men is less than 300 years old. This is the dawn of history. There are no elder cultures that possessed powerful technology or lore. The are no elder organized cultures at all, just tribes and city states of humans who have only just discovered the most powerful invention since fire: complex social organization.
