"Dark Ages (Age ): The darkest days have passed. Warlords are gathering increasing lands, while in the east, a new religion sets off Islamic expansion."

"Age of Feudalism (Age ): The beginning of the medieval period. Local strongmen become knights and even kings as they lead armies and construct great fortifications across Europe."

"Age of Monarchy (Age ): Strong states come to dominate in both the east and west. Saracen nations expand greatly."

"Age of Chivalry (Age ): Increased centralization and organization leads to flourishing trade. Chivalry is born, and Byzantium reclaims lost territory from Saracen expansion."

"(Age ): Advances in philosophy and political thought ushered in a new era of rationalism and empiricism, creating room for further social and scientific progress."
