Era of Open Trade

Age of Trade (4210 – 4276)
Beginning in the Confederation of Moria trade has become a major industry of the world. The Confederation of Moria created a unified currency of the world which held Platinum, Gold, Silver and Copper coins. All states quickly adopted this currency except the League of Shame, the King felt it a personal attack. However, people all the world began to stop using, trading, and taking Shame’s currency so the state eventually had to adopt the unified currency.

Merchants began to become the richest people in the world.

Age of Competition (4276 – 5395)
It was not long before competition began driving prices lower and lower. Bargaining and deals became the order, so much so that it started to spread up the political chains and all the treaties that currently existed in the world were renegotiated, except the one that ended the Age of Gods. This began to create a mentality where people tried to out bargain and out deal their neighbors.

Age of Adversaries (5395 – 5435)
As people bartered more and argued more some latent distrust and frustration entered the general mentality of people. This led to people seeing others as their permanent adversaries. This led to a beginning of a pervasive feeling of suspicion between the states and underlying all trade with other nations.
