A modern metallurgist, trapped in ancient times, watch as he tries to play with the cards fate dealt him.
He will make plate armor, invent paper, build roads, teach governance and many more, as he tries to carve a place for himself.
But how can such things not attract jealous eyes?
The naval superpower- Cantagena,
The unstoppable army of- Exolas, 
The superpower of the east- Adhania,
The mercantile confederation- Sybarsis, 
The religious fanatics- Iyizarid, 
And the ever-present- Barbarians of the Barren Forrest,
All want something from each other.
In this ocean of sharks, follow a small carp as it struggles to leap through the dragon gate and establish a dynasty to outlast them all.

Herald of Steel

Alexander's special seesaw was made all the more special as it was not in any way restricted to just papermaking.


And in fact could be used to grind a variety of other substances, which given how expensive and location dependent the ball milling machines were, as it was required to be built near a water source or necessitated the construction of aqueducts to bring the water source near it, was a heaven send substitute.


Additionally. with its paddle-like mechanism, one could use their much stronger feet muscles to do the work, which was much faster and safer, as the toes were literally 10 feet away from the mallet.


Hence with this device lowering the physical requirement for the job of grinding, even women would be employed, thus freeing up the more precious resource, i.e- men for far more labor-intensive work.
