==== Sháankan Era ====

The Antiquity Age, inalso Kudukcalled the Sháankan Era, marked the very beginnings of the rebound from the dark ages. The bronze trade that had once dominated economic activity throughout the Isles was gone, but it wasn't necessarily replaced by iron, unlike other places in the world. By the time of the worldwide Iron Age, many tribes understood the importance of limited resources and were now more likely to hoard up on food than trade with in excess like their forefathers had done with bronze. This caused a major shift in the intertribal dynamics present within the Isles, as tribes and clans sought expansion over trade as a means of survival.

Large-scale alliances and political mergence became widespread and gave birth to a new era of tribes the scales of which were unprecedented. Tribes such as the Great Niks of the Northern Great Plains and the Proto-Anana of the Southwestern Woodlands rose to power via a combination of political marriages, diplomacy, and conquest. Tribes such as the Great Niks sought to expand into and control large swaths of territory in order to tax traveling merchants to gain power.

Kuduk’s medievalKuxwéi eraEra was characterized by the emergence of new political systems in the Western Coast that altered the social composition of those tribes and instituted a new ruling class. In 745 CE, the Proto-Anana Chiefdom, which had dominated the Western Coast of Kuduk, collapsed due to pressure on the Chief from the newly created Naa Sàati class. Several Major Tribes, including the modern day Anana, Hey, and Yevak, were formed due to the break up of the Proto-Anana. The Naa Sàati (meaning Clan Leader in Kuduk) established matriarchal and hereditary governments that oversaw loose collections of villages connected by the familial ancestry of their rulers. Inter-Tribal trade became commonplace during this era with the formation of the Chudéi Passage, a trade route that ran through the Western Great Plains and the West Coast of Kuduk.
 
The newfound political systems overseeing the western coast tribes caused a short population boom within Kuduk. The political system, being based off of familial ties, preferred large families with many children and thus encouraged political marriages and fundamentally altered the way in which many tribes organized their families. The introduction of the new political system from the neighboring Anana Tribe caused the Yevak plains people, who at this time were not yet a unified tribe, to become more matrilineal and eventually grow to become predominantly matriarchal throughout the Middle Ages. The same process also affected other Tribes such as the Anana and the Hey.

The LateYawéinaa Era, also referred to as the late Middle Agesages in Kuduk, is described as taking place between 1000-1453, was characterized by the emergence of new powerful Tribes who expanded their influence and territories with differing strategies.
 
At the turn of the 11th century, the Western Great Plains slowly became unified through strategic political marriages carried out primarily by the Yevak Clan. The newly formed Yevak Tribe sought to expand its regional power through controlling significant portions of the Chudéi Passage and Middle Lake. The vast majority of land controlled by the Yevaks were locally controlled with either a consort married to a Yevak Clan Member or a Yevak descendant.
