My horse carried me further and further east. The leisurely trek through the grasslands took over half a year. The horse given to me by the Balm tribe was a gentle and friendly animal named Sayr. He had been born while I lived with the Balm tribe, and since I had helped in taking care of the horses, he was quite fond of me.

But we wouldn’t be together forever. Horses had even shorter lifespans than humans, and depending on how my journey unfolded, I might be forced to leave him behind at some point, like if I needed to take a boat somewhere that was too small to accommodate him. But until that day came, I’d spoil him just as much as I relied on him.

The skies over the grasslands were a vibrant blue, matching the vivid green of the grass. Swayed by the movements of my horse, warmed by the rays of the sun, and cooled by the wind of the plains, I often found myself dozing off. For an inexperienced rider like myself, falling asleep would mean instantly falling off, so despite how comfortable I was, I forced my eyes to stay open while I rode.

If I continued in this direction, I’d eventually make it out of the grasslands and into the Ancient Gold Empire. From what information I had gathered, the empire was divided into five territories.

The easternmost region bordering the ocean was known as the Blue Sea Province.

The Red Mountain Province on the southern edge of the empire also bordered the sea, but the harsh mountainous landscape from which its name derived prevented the construction of any ports.

The western region was characterized by the numerous rivers and tributaries which ran through it, earning it the name of White River Province.

The northern region, the Black Snow Province, had weather patterns influenced by nearby volcanoes. Volcanic ash mixed with the precipitation to create a blanket of black snow during the winter months.

Each province was ruled by a governor, the four of which submitted to the emperor in the central Ancient Gold Province. Together, these five provinces made up the Ancient Gold Empire.

Apparently, each province was populated by a different people as well. For example, the Red Mountain Province was inhabited by serpentfolk, a race of people whose lower bodies were like that of snakes. They had a close relationship to the nearby kingdom of dwarves. It seemed both races were strong drinkers, so they got along quite well.

I’d first reach White River Province after exiting the grasslands. The stories of the land being dominated by large rivers made me recall the Azueda Alliance, so I was curious how different this place would be. Seeing a place firsthand often gave me quite a different impression from the stories people told me.

As I continued east, the scent of water in the air started to grow stronger. Excited at the prospects of the new experiences waiting for me, I patted Sayr on the back of the neck.

The border between the Great Grasslands and the Ancient Gold Empire was fortified to prevent raids from the grassland nomads.
