==== Pax Casambriana ====

Roughly concurrent with the [[Baphia#Peace Era|peace era in Baphia]], the Pax Casambriana is generally accepted as beginning in 687 CE, with the armistice of the [[Hnþ–Bkršsg'attcsu feud]]. This era was characterized by extensive technological, artistic, and infrastructural development which set the groundwork for the eventual establishment of the Kzmr Confederation. The development of the portable forge in the early eighth century allowed for the spread of more sophisticated forms of metallurgy to non-manorial groups, and writing became similarly widely accessible in ~~this era~~ with the design of the [[Kzmr alphabet]] as a supplement to the [[Ukilen logographs#Traditional|traditional Ukilen]] script.

This era of technological progress was also stimulated by the formation of independent trades. In this period, members of a given clan had greater autonomy and could visit other clans without diplomatic concern, allowing for peripatetic work in exchange for food or goods, especially in the fields of textiles, metallurgy, and delivery. These itinerant workers eventually formed [[w:Guild|guilds]] which later evolved into the occupational [[Pseudoclan|pseudoclans]].

The arts also flourished greatly in this period, with [[Kzmr music notation]] being invented by [[Krgrnsvatrnakrpš]] in 922 CE, originally to transcribe [[Nrþki'rdu]] liturgical music. Eventually, it was extended to the creation of new motets, and soon after to the composition of secular music. Music of the Pax Casambriana was extremely varied and characterized by heavy experimentation, and the era gave rise to some of the most prolific composers in Kzmr history. The visual arts also underwent a revolution of their own, with the burgeoning guild system allowing specialization in textile art and metalwork. Artifacts from this time period include jewelry made from finely woven copper wire as well as oryx leather and felted rabbit fur embroidered by hand, of which the vegetation-inspired ornamentation was the prototype of the [[Kzmr rococo]] movement.
