Hot take y'all, but nothing brings me out of my immersion more than seeing a metaphor that doesn't fit the time period.
Specifically like... if you're thinking of using the phrase "sharp as steel" or variations thereof... steel wasn't invented during the bronze age.
That's, y’know, why it's called the bronze age
