The City of Outcasts.
It was a name given by others under the jurisdiction of the Dark Sovereign. For them, Gloom was a thorn in the Dark Sovereign's reputation. Gloom was a city of miscreants who didn't deserve to live.
However, Gloom was considered a sacred place.
The Dark Sovereign often allocated funds to its expansion, and even placed a competent Lord to oversee the town. The Lord was loved by the residents of the city, as he was intelligent and kind simultaneously.
The Lords of other cities were corrupted, and only seeked to earn money. Having such a person overseeing Gloom would have ruined the town.
That's why the Dark Sovereign took extra measures.
As Alex gazed at the bustling streets, he was suddenly reminded of the domain the Ryoujin Clan oversaw. It was almost as large as the one the Dark Sovereign oversaw, and extremely peaceful.
Parties were held every day, and the residents were satisfied.
