Fate · Fight · Choice, and…Trust - III
This is the western part of the empire, the "Western Country" that is extremely close to the Celestial Path mountain range that spans the central continent.
Under the rule of the empire, it is obviously rebellious to call a part of the ruled area a "country", so this is of course only the private name of travelers and adventurers, but most people default to this.
The western territory of the empire is called "country" because the area here is vast and mixed. Not only are there four grand dukes here, but also smugglers, speculators, adventurers... countless people of all kinds are mixed here. Compared to the lifeless, stagnant North, the West Country can be said to be chaotically exciting.
And under the circumstances that no one knew, Hydral, who had stirred up the North, had quietly crossed most of the empire and arrived at an important city in the West Country, City of Elysian under the rule of the Duke of Wyvern.
