Waking up inside the ruins of an orphanage, Alexander finds himself chained and sold to slavery.
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

The group crossed the heavy wooden door restricting access to the naval fort and were soon escorted inside.


The inside was quite spare, with only a few large wooden houses distributed across the entire space acting as lodging for the five hundred or so workers plus soldiers there, a few large wooden sheds that were used as carpentry workshops, and a small dock leading out to the sea that was used to build the vessels. 


And as the two nobles looked around curiosity at these, Alexander gave some background of this place.


"After suffering the recent blockade, I felt an urgent need to build a navy as soon as possible. Or risk having all my trade plundered."


"And so I had this abandoned hamlet be turned into a sort of shipbuilding yard."


"It's not a real shipyard yet as it's very rudimentary. But for now, it is only being used built to new ship concepts."


"And we have built three such boats to showcase our new designs."


"And I hope to get the two esteemed lords' opinion on them."
