Huge. This lake in the middle—the Azur Lake—covers about 500,000 km². (Somewhere between 300 and 500—I kind of forgot; I’ll have to check my notes later, hahaha). The entire region, including the eternal forest and the western plains inside it, is slightly smaller than Brazil. Brazil is 8.5 million km²; the eternal forest encompasses an area of 7.1 million km². (Ignore some names and blank areas on the map—it’s not a complete map, since i didn’t have much time to work on it. Goldenveil is located right at the mouth of the Solene River. A bit hard to see)

Unlike Ethan, Qingyi doesn't need an heir, so I'm in no rush.

Lol, his kids will probably only show up in the bonus chapters after the story ends

Fixed, thx!

Lol, don't worry, there won't be too many kids since I don't want the story to get messy, but Goldenveil is going to need an heir.

There will be a few chapters focused solely on them, but no entire story arcs or anything that takes the protagonism away from Ethan.

No. I hate it when the main character becomes a side character, honestly. They’ll get plenty of screen time and character development, but they won’t be the main characters.

True, hahaha. Families are huge, and women—especially empowered by the magical density—are able to give birth with a survival rate comparable to that of modern first-world countries. Because of that same magical density, children are also much stronger and so, the infant mortality rate is very low.

In the case of elves, yes. But other races do not follow this rule. In the case of humans, the vast majority awaken aura, and only a small minority awaken an mana.
