Probably the late middle ages, seeing the transcitioning period of a feudal system to a more capitalist one
12-13th century golden age of shia-sufi esoterism

The Mongols knocking the Middle East back into the Stone Age where it still is today.
Blue Banana region of Europe in the post plague era. So second half 14th & 15th century. Especially the city states of Northern Italy, Switzerland and the HRE.
I find the society most interesting with all the different guilds, occupations, political figures and full life. Like myriads of towns with own militias and foreign politics and trade and and and.
900-1100 is the most badass time
>Europe is in the state of total war and mayhem
>tribes and ethnicities slaughtering each other and running all throughout the continent

From the fall of the western roman empire up to the 7th century because so much of it is a mistery and seems to be a time where legends were born.
14th and 15th century Western Europe + Italy.
