The Long continent had been in peace for quite a long time now. People wondered if this peace had lasted too long, or perhaps it was just the calm before the storm. Regardless of their thoughts and expectations, the world followed its own path.
Still, the number of people that thought a time of chaos was near had started to slowly increase. While there had been small chaotic events like wars between kingdoms, beast tides and even natural calamities, none of them was something that would disturb the entire continent at once.
In fact, after the establishment of the three Guardian clans, there had been no long scale upheaval. The three clans were also satisfied by this and allowed the rise of other powers as long as they didn't cause trouble.
All they cared about was the status quo and that their superiority was maintained. The same attitude was adapted by the other powers of the continents.
