The world was changing fast, driven by the will of the gods and their desire of power amongst their people. First to come was trade, a mighty river flowed from the forest to the ocean and along it the people of the Wylde and Sarentia did trade. Sending small rafts up and down the river and floating things along it, a natural caravan of goods moved along the river being prosperity to both people. The Wylde traded not only their metals but also their superior crafts, bows and spears along with their artisans produce. For the golems of the forest were the finest craftsmen in all the land. The Wylde received food aplenty in return, smoked fish were sent down the river along with bricks of mud and other advancements for the people to share.

Food became plentiful for both peoples, even more so as rice was cultivated by the people of Sarentia. Sarentia became the first real city of the world, with wood to help sustain its lust for building and crafts pouring in from the Forest the people went wild with production. Adding many great things to their list of achivements, their stone masonry was perhaps their finest skillf or they shaped it with almost as much care as Wyldehearts golems.

The did as their god instructed, using stone and wood they began work on a wall for their people around their city and its defenses were complete. They did not have an army as such though but their city had buildings beyond that of mud huts, solid constructions that while simple were perhaps some of the best made in the world. Certainly for the plains. They began to learn how to smelt bronze too at the direction of their god, in small amounts for it was not abundant but arrow heads and spears soon began being tipped with bronze instead of stone, still this was minority and such treasures as bronze armour were only for the rich of wealthy.

Trade also sprang up between Wyvaria and Wyldeheart, the mountains began to bristle with more life and the people of the winds and mountains prospered for it. Life was hard scratching off the rocks but now they had more game to hunt and it wasnt long before they began to train birds to help them do so. Becomming mighty falconeers, catching goats and all manner of small animals with their impressive creatures. Wyldehearts name became known to them and they often thanked him when they made a kill for Wyldeheart was indeed the god of the hunt, but they did not worship him or distract from their own faith.

Commerce though was not the only chance to strike the world, for new life had been created in many forms. Humans were no longer the only form to travel the land and the world was bristling with strange new creatures, such as Zaroths Verren which soon became a beast of burden for the people of Sarentia. They did not take to riding them much, his people had little need for riding as they were not great travellers. Instead they used them to help plough their fields and carry great weights, it did become popular among the rich though to ride them just to elevate themselves above the common folk but such practice was minior, but they did make up for it by being skilled. Nobles and wealthy individuals couldnt help but compete with one another, something that sharpened their riding skills.

The Verren helped the people do more though, from carrying stone or dragging ore, they became the ox of Sarentia people. The Naga on the other hand had grown in numbers and with fish to feed them they were as numerous as the humans almost. They began work on their own under water city, shaping it from the mud and rock as best they could. They were not great builders for their homes more resembled caves than buildings but it served none the less as they began to evolve into a real people with their own culture. They were raised on stories of their own gods power and the evil of the fire god, something that came natural to them anyway as fire was no friend to the water people. It wasnt long though before they began to spread across the ocean though, soon no one would be able to traverse the oceans without encountering them for this land was not the only one.

Wylvaria however had created the first of her Aero, dividing her body into two forms and creating one of her winds she now had one of her own smaller avatars. The creation however drained her some, such creation required power. Her people though marvelled as the first of the Aero were born and the mountains multiplied with faith but also healthier people with full stomachs.

Power came to Zaroth, his Naga worshipped him fanatically and and it restored him back to what he was before he began his great river building and defense building. One more able to create life and do all manner of things. Power came to Wyldeheart too, the small worship of the water people as they farmed helped sustain him greatly after his expenditure and restored him, not able to create advanced life but restored none the less.

Power left Wyvaria though, the creation of one of her Aero's diminished her somewhat and left her in a weakened state. However it would not be long until she was powerful again, her new creation was a symbol of her power and all the world felt the increase of the winds.
