ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Illyrian warfare

Illyrian warfare was a type of fighting that happened a long time ago in a place called Illyria. It’s kind of like playing a game of pretend war, but the grown-ups used real weapons instead of toys.

Illyrian warriors were very good at fighting because they had to defend their land from other groups who wanted to take it over. They would practice using swords and spears and shields to get better at it. They also had to be very strong and tough so they could keep fighting even when they were hurt.

Sometimes the Illyrians would have big battles with other groups. They would make a plan and try to attack the other group when they least expected it. They would also try to protect themselves from getting hurt by hiding behind walls and rocks.

Illyrian warfare was a very dangerous thing to do, and many warriors would get hurt or even die during a battle. But they were very brave and loyal to their land, which is why they did it.
