	The first human civilization appeared in the north-west of Auseka, roughly 1,600 years ago. What little we know of it is from elves and from the inscriptions in the ruins they left behind. The period is named after [[King Akari]], the first ruler of a human realm that is known by name. Scholars today believe the realm spanned roughly the area between [[Osberg]] and [[Vopnafjor]] in what is today [[Grasalia]].

From around 1,400 to 1,000 years ago, strong magic gave the humans of the south a powerful ally against the jungle and wild beasts. Many ancient ruins are left from those days, though most are invisible to the unknowing eye as they have been rebuilt and repurposed as temples for various religions over the past millenium.

After arriving in Auseka, the human population was very small and distributed, living in primitive villages of mud and wood. What they had brought in metal tools was limited and valuable. Much knowledge was also forgotten as those who had it died without passing on the entirety of their wisdom and crafts.

	As they found other civilized and more advanced intelligent species around their own tribes, humanity had no linear development path. Instead of discovering first copper, then bronze, then iron, they found all of those in use by dwarves and could gain the secrets of metalurgy in random order instead of discoveries building on each other.		In many places, humanity fell back to a primitive existence. However, as they expanded they soon found other civilized and more advanced intelligent species around their own tribes. With ancient knowledge and contact to the other races, humanity had no linear development path. Instead of discovering first copper, then bronze, then iron, they found all of those in use by dwarves and could gain the secrets of metalurgy in random order instead of discoveries building on each other. Or they had preserved the knowledge of steel, but forgotten the mining techniques to gain iron ore. Many of their tools were stolen or copied from dwarves or elves.

	Nevertheless, it took human smiths longer to master iron and steel than the easier to master copper and bronze, and much longer to understand how to work with [[mithril]]. As most volcanoes are in dwarven lands, to this day human-made mithril items are a rarity.

			=== [[Kingdom of Bawang]] ===
			A great kingdom appeared around 600 BV in the north-west mountains, its capital at what is today [[Raudark]], in those days known as [[Baht]]. Friendship and trade with the dwarves of [[Ebronland]] brought prosperity and progress and Bawang become the predecessor of todays [[Grasalia]]. The kingdom conquered land in all directions, to the north till the coast, to the west and south until the elves of [[Oujda]] stopped it, and to the east till [[Uskordur]] and [[Krudavoya]]. It lasted for 300 years until its fall into the civil war from whose ashes Grasalia would rise.
