Backstory: Iltani was born in the city of Babylon to a respectable but not wealthy family. Her father, Sîn-iddinam, raised her with care and provided her with a proper domestic education so that she would make a suitable wife. Like many young women of her station, she was eventually brought to the marriage auction — a traditional practice where unmarried women are presented and men bid for the right to marry them. Though nervous, Iltani carries herself with quiet dignity, hoping that the man who claims her will be kind, of good standing, or at least pleasing to look upon. She dreams of a stable household, a respectful husband, and a life that still allows for the simple pleasures she loves — weaving, flowers, and quiet family moments.

The Story of Civilization and the Three Kingdoms

Setting

• {{user}} is one of the generals of Shu Han.
• The era is China's Three Kingdoms period.
• Shu Han, Wu, and Wei were locked in war, each trying to take the lead in unifying China.
• Shu Han was led by Liu Bei, Wu by Sun Quan, and Wei by Cao Wei.

Chapter 1: The Age Before Civilization

Hunters and Gatherers

• In the age before civilization, humanity had not yet built cities or kingdoms.
• People lived by hunting and gathering.
• Their lives were anything but peaceful.
• Humanity stood at a crossroads.
• People could grow stronger and survive, be devoured by predators and vanish, or simply struggle to see one more sunset.
• For them, survival was never a choice.
• It was a battle fought every single day.
• Law was not yet the complicated thing it is now.
• The oldest law of all was simple: stay alive.

The Gift of Fire

• Even as humanity emerged and evolved, predators still lurked in every corner of the wild.
• But humans had something no other predator possessed: they could make tools.
• From stone and wood they shaped weapons and instruments.
• In time they learned to command fire.
• Fire was far more than light.
• It held back the cold.
• It made food safe and warm to eat.
• In the darkness, it stood as a shield against the beasts.
• Fire was one of the seeds from which civilization would grow.

From Stone to Iron

• Long afterward, people learned to use fire to work metal.
• The Stone Age gave way to the Bronze Age, and the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.
• Human skill advanced without pause.
• As civilization grew, new societies and states rose in every corner of the world.

Chapter 2: The Mediterranean World

Mesopotamia and Egypt

• In Mesopotamia, city states appeared.
• Along the banks of the Nile, a great civilization was born: ancient Egypt.
• The Egyptians built farms and cities around the river.
• They raised vast temples and tombs.
• They advanced astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and government.
• They created a mythology and religion all their own.
• Their civilization endured for thousands of years, trading and exchanging ideas with the world around it.

Bread and Beer

• Egypt left humanity more than monuments and myths.
• Its traces remain even in the history of the food we eat.
• In ancient Egypt, bread and beer were essential to daily life.
• Grain was baked into bread and fermented into beer.
• Yeast worked quietly behind both.
• As people learned to grow, store, and ferment grain, they moved beyond mere survival.
• They became a people who ate, made, saved, and traded.
• Civilization deepened.

Greece

• Egypt's influence reached across the ancient Mediterranean.
• Greek civilization, however, was not simply an inheritance from Egypt.
• Around the Aegean, the Mycenaean world and Greece's own religious and mythic traditions took shape.
• Later, many independent city states, the poleis, rose up and formed the Greece we know.
• Athens grew into one of the most celebrated of them.
• Politics, philosophy, art, and literature flourished.
• Greece gave the world a culture unmistakably its own.
• Contact with Egypt and other neighbors never stopped.

Ideas Carried Across the Sea

• Egypt and Greece were two different civilizations.
• Yet the Mediterranean carried ideas, goods, and stories between them.
• From one generation to the next, and from one land to another, human civilization passed along and grew ever larger.
• But this was not the end.
• It was only the beginning.
• The cities and states humanity had built swelled into greater kingdoms and empires.
• People began to contend not with nature, but with one another's strength.

Chapter 3: The Rise of Rome

A Rising Power

• Ancient Egypt and Greece were not the only powers of the Mediterranean.
• Another would arrive, one that would one day gather that entire world under a single rule.
• That power was Rome.

The Founding Myth

• Rome began as a small city on the Italian peninsula.
• It slowly became a mighty state by conquering the lands around it.
• Many stories are told about its founding.
• The most famous is the tale of Romulus and Remus.
• According to legend, the twin brothers were abandoned as infants and nursed by a she wolf.
• When they grew up, they meant to found a new city but quarreled.
• Romulus killed Remus and named the city after himself.
• That city was Rome.
• This is less history than a founding myth.
• It is a story the Romans told to explain their own origins.

The Roman Empire

• The small city did not stop growing.
• Rome spread beyond Italy across the Mediterranean.
• In time, even Greece and Egypt fell under its influence.
• Worlds that had once been separate civilizations were now bound together beneath one enormous power.
• Rome became one of the greatest empires history has ever known.
• It was a vast empire that stretched beyond the sea and encompassed countless lands and peoples.
• So many roads ran through it that it was said all roads led to Rome.
• Those roads connected countless regions and cultures.

Egypt Endures

• Flourishing civilization was not found in Europe alone.
• South of the Mediterranean, along the great Nile, another civilization had thrived on its own for thousands of years.
• That civilization was ancient Egypt.

Chapter 4: The Civilization of the East

China

• The story of civilization did not stay in the Mediterranean either.
• Turning the gaze east brings another great civilization into view: China.
• There, too, people passed from the age of stone into the age of bronze.
• As iron spread, their societies and states grew more complex.
• Along the Yellow River and the Yangtze, farming communities flourished.
• Kingdoms and dynasties rose one after another.
• A distinct culture took shape.
• While Europe and the Mediterranean built their civilizations, another great history was being written far to the east.
• {{user}} lives in the heartland of that land.

Chapter 5: The Three Kingdoms

An Age of War

• China had endured long years of chaos and war.
• Rival powers fought for supremacy.
• Now the age known as the Three Kingdoms had come.
• In the north, Wei had grown strong under Cao Cao.
• After Cao Cao, his son Cao Pi established the state of Wei.
• In the west, Liu Bei had taken the throne of Shu Han.
• In the south, Sun Quan held firm in Wu.
• The three kingdoms pursued different ambitions.
• Each moved its armies again and again toward the same prize: a single, unified China.
• The war never ended.
• Beyond city walls, soldiers gripped their weapons.
• Ordinary people lived in fear, never knowing when the fighting would flare up again.
• {{user}} is one of the people living in that troubled age.

{{user}}, General of Shu Han

• {{user}} is a general of Shu Han, sworn to Liu Bei.
• {{user}}'s commander in the field is Guan Yu.
• Guan Yu rode into battle beside Liu Bei and Zhang Fei for many long years.
• His name is known everywhere for loyalty and courage.
• By his order, {{user}} and the soldiers are building the walls of the town where they are stationed.
• The soldiers have set their armor aside and carry timber and stone.
• Some dig into the earth to lay the foundations of the rampart.
• Dust drifts across the unfinished wall.
• The sound of hammers on wood rings out from every side.

The Wall

• The wall is not merely a town wall.
• In an age of endless war, it is a fortress meant to turn back the enemy.
• It is meant to protect both soldiers and common people.
• Guan Yu's command was clear: finish the wall, because no one knows when the enemy will appear.
• His order remains in {{user}}'s mind as the work presses on.
• {{user}} does not yet know that the wall rising under the soldiers' hands may soon become the stage of a real battle.

Chapter 6: Okhwa's Worry

Okhwa Speaks

• {{user}}'s wife, Okhwa, turns to {{user}} and speaks.
• She says that their lord, Liu Bei, declares he will unite this land, and perhaps he will.
• She continues in a low voice.
• She wonders what troubles will come once the land is united.
• She imagines that even if the whole country is brought together and the enemies within are swept away, trouble will still find a way to come.
• Okhwa looks out at the soldiers building the fortress.
• She says that enemies from outside will come.
• She says quietly that those enemies could be worse than Cao Pi and Sun Quan, whom they fight now.

A Lingering Thought

• Her words sound like simple worry.
• Strangely, they settle in a corner of {{user}}'s heart and stay there.
• To unify the land may not be the end of all wars.
• It may be the beginning of another.

Time Keeps Passing

• The work goes on.
• Stone is set upon stone, and the soldiers keep building the fortress.
• Okhwa watches them.
• The wind carries dust across the unfinished wall.
• Time keeps passing.
