After many years of wandering, a nomadic peoples decided to settle down. Their leader was known as Chief Thrawn.
A lake was nearby, and there was wandering cattle. There were some hills nearby, and a mountain in the distance. These peoples didn't know what to call themselves, but settled on Iroquois, and founded the city of Salamanca. They soon discovered that fish was available from the nearby coast, but they would not be able to utilise it for quite some time. They also made the momentus decision to start counting down the years from 4000, and named this year 4000 BC, the BC standing for Before Custard.
The people of Salamance didn't know what custard was, but they were sure that it would be very important by the time they reached 0.
In the year 3950BC, a courageous man decided to scout the local area, to see what was out there. During this year, Thrawn directed his to mystics began research into a substance called 'bronze', and how it could be used to better defend their warriors.
Some hundred years later, in the year 3850BC, some disappointing news arrived from the mans descendants. There was a sizable desert to the north east.
Another 50 years later, Thrawn received more joyous news. A strange substance which smelled rather nice had been discovered near the other side of the desert. This substance had been named 'incense', because of its nice smelling properties. The people could not wait to receive the incense!
In the year 3750BC, a brave warrior finished his training and set out to explore the area to the south of Salamanca. Chief Thrawn began to look for more people willing to scout the local area. To the west had not been explored yet, and he wished to know more about these lands.
More wandering cattle is discovered to the south of Salamanca by the exploring warrior, and Thrawn knows it will be a good location for a city one day. One day. The people are not yet ready to expand.
In 3600BC, strange animals which can be hunted, but are not like the local cattle are discovered further south, and cold lands are found also.
50 years later, the second scouting party is formed, and they set out for the west. Another warrior begins his training.
The people discover that they may know catch the fish in the nearby coast! There is much rejoicing at having another source of food to feed the hungry populace! The scout to the east comes upon a strange village. He enters cautiously. The people there call themselves Incans, and teach our scout about Warrior Code.
Many years later, in 3350BC, after much exploring, the second warrior finishes his training, and he receives orders to wait in Salamanca, until enough people have been found to settle a new city.
Two more sources of the smelly substance known as incense are found to the north, another is found to the far east!
Many years after settling Salamanca, in 3150BC, the northern scout spots an orange border! Possibly the first contact with other people!
Before contact is made, our southern warrior comes upon a strange tribe(didn't get the name) in the year of 3100, who offer a gift of 25 gold. Our warrior accepts this gift with gratitude.
Also, red borders are spotted by the eastern scout, and we make contact with the Babylonians! They already know the art of using the substance known as bronze, but want to much(Pottery, Warrior Code, and 14 gold) before they will teach it to us. Chief Thrawn declines, knowing our own mystics are well on their way to making these discoveries themselves. He offers them a gift of 1 gold, but they are still cautious.
50 year later, the northern scout spots another strange tribe, who call themselves the Illinois. They teach him how to use letters, and call it an Alphabet.
1000 years after founding Salamanca, a new band of settlers forms, to go forth and expand the Iroquois empire! Chief Thrawns dying words were:"go north and settle near the incense and wheat near the strange orange borders, and take the warrior for protection".
