The Kryvian iron age began around 1000 BC and is known as the period of Great Realms. This name refers to the various states and polities which existed from 1000 to 200 BC. One of the most dominant of those was the [[Kingdom of Lendua]] which existed from 800 BC to 103 AD. Though its greatest extent was between 300 to 100 BC, when it controlled much of the northeastern Kryvia and even had colonies in western [[Lakrosia]].
The Kryvian iron age began around 1000 BC. The Kryvia saw a rise  of advanced city states, especially in the south, where the city-states of [[Acruia]] and [[Marcadia]] became particulary powerful. In around 750 BC, one of the [[Marcadian colonies]] separated it from its mother state and formed the [[Kingdom of Lendos]]. It soon came to dominate the northern regions of Kryvia. In 658 BC, [[Dimitrios I]] ascended to the throne of Lendos, his rule saw huge swaths of Kryvia conquered under the Lendosian banner. Upon his death in 639 BC, the Empire split in two, with the [[Lenduan Kingdom]] in the north and the [[Atusian Kingdom]] in the south.


In the 5th century BC, a revolt in of the Great Realms, [[Kingdom of Acruia]], lead to the abolition of the monarchy and establishment of a military oligarchy. The leading organization of this new polity became the [[Acruian Senate|Senate]], composed of the most senior military leaders. In charge of this Senate stood the so-called [[Prince of Acruia|Prince]]. Throughout the early period of the Acruian republic the Princes were mostly powerless and were tasked only with chairing the Senate.
In the aftermath of the Empire of Dimitrios, the Kryvia became divided into four main powers: Lenduan Kingodm, Atusian Kingdom, [[League of Acruia]], and the [[League of Marcadia]]. The latter continued to expand its colonies as far as [[Lakrosia]]. This regional order would collapse with the conquest of Atusia and Marcadia by the [[Empire of Pavia]] in the 2nd Century BC.


The new government emphasized martial prowess and clamped on "decadency." By the 1st Century AD, the [[Acruian Empire]] conquered much of the eastern Kryvia and established multiple colonies in Lakrosia. It entered into multiple major conflicts with the Kingdom of Lenua conquering most of today's [[Stojam]]. Acruia expanded to the western parts of the Kryvia as well, with evidence of its presence as far as southern Raditia.
