Shattered Glasses Hold Eternity

The Imaginative Glorian Psyche
It is rare that we look within our current times to pull what will be the largest and most significant societal changes and makers. Ancient archivists filled plenty of scripts with the importance of Demasia’s innovations in terraforming. Discoveries in large-scale damming would allow water to be spread throughout their lands. Demasia would become known for its advanced canal and boating routes, but not for thousands of years after these predictions. What is credited with advancing Demasia into surviving among the ancient early peoples were actually improvements in rope-making and weaving. Through developing stronger and more purposeful textiles, the Demasians were able to improve agricultural effectiveness, create bigger and sturdier buildings, and begin learning about weight distribution.
