In a civilization’s early history, the primary concern of its populace is developing a surplus of food and maintaining adequate shelter. Academic and [[criminal]] endeavors are usually simple and disorganized. Most of these nations’ entries do not mention academic or underworld occupational spheres. Unless otherwise noted, it is safe to assume that these nations have very basic academic institutions that teach standardized writing practices and basic mathematics. Such institutions will primarily be hobbies among the wealthy. Likewise, you can safely assume that a nation’s criminal element does not extend beyond petty thievery unless it is otherwise noted. | In a civilization’s early history, the primary concern of its populace is developing a surplus of food and maintaining adequate shelter.

When settlers found the River Ahten, they immediately knew that it would be a good place to lay down roots. While it is a warm and relatively dry region, the river’s reliable flood patterns allowed the Ahteni to develop advanced irrigation canals that they used to produce a tremendous surplus of food. Skillful engineers turned their attention to constructing grand ornamented buildings and monuments professing the glory of their godkings. | When settlers found the River Ahten, they immediately knew that it would be a good place to lay down roots.
