Description
4,000 B.C.E.
The village stood on a low embankment at the edge of some springs. Alpine steep peaks stood out behind rolling hills that centuries later would be covered by rows of Prosecco vineyards; to the south stretched the gloomy forests of the Po Valley. The village lay in a cluster of close villages, surrounded by placid streams, swamps and a network of cultivated fields, but every village kept its sacred medicine bundles and held its own councils of the clan chiefs.
The people of the villages had only to fight with their neighbours, the cooling weather, bad crops, wild herds changing their usual paths, floods, and sometimes strange diseases sent by an angered god but, all in all, it was a peaceful business-as-usual time. Their lives were full of risks, but life is risky, isn't it?
Sometimes a band of warriors set up for trading or raiding: a guy has to elbow his way through life, right? But no one, not even the bravest, ventured beyond the gorge bordering the Cursed Valley.
