3rd century BCE. The Warring States period continues in China. After the Zhou empire entered a state of decline, many small states had defected from it. Their number was gradually reduced - many realms were absorbed by their lucky neighbours, and now the Celestial Empire is divided between seven hegemons. This is the era of endless struggle and strife, but at the same time, many aspects of life are developing vigorously: military technology, trade, crafts, philosophy...
