The Rise of Courts, Clans, and Academies
Early proto-states and cultural powers take shape.
As survival gave way to continuity, distinct centers of power emerged. Forest courts organized around memory-groves, stonebound peoples codified law, and wandering clans formalized oath and lineage.
Institutions dedicated to preserving knowledge arose, laying the foundations for later academies and states.
These early structures would eventually harden into the nations of Velthuryn.
