Evin remembered how before the mad dragon Perdrakar laid waste to the South and the Heroes had gathered to slay him, the people would often joke about the Princess' name, guessing at its origins, most of the being just borderline childish insults.
But when she thought about it a bit deeply, it wasn't hard to guess why. The Free Country of Von was lodged between the three biggest countries of that time: The Holy Land of Sun, The Hexmagi Alliance, and the Nosk Triumvirate.

But deep inside they all felt it was only a matter of time before one of the big countries decided to colonize it into their own.
