I left Odine, heading south. Now that I thought about it, I’d never actually been north of Odine before. North of what was once the Azueda Alliance—now the Kingdom of Azuetta—used to be the nation of Darottei, but they were no more. After being crippled by their war with Ludoria, another country further north attacked and destroyed them.

Speaking of countries in the Far North, the only one I’d ever visited was the Empire of Fodor, but apparently they no longer existed either. Maybe I’d have to find some time to take a trip up there sometime. I wasn’t exactly eager to experience the same cold I’d found in Fodor again, but it should be a bit easier if I went in summer.

Though I entertained thoughts of traveling north, my feet nevertheless took me south. I was curious about the Far North, but I had no business there. And above all, it wasn’t summer.

South of Azuetta was Radlania, the seat of power for the harvest god religion. Radlania held the greatest authority in the east-central region, so it had avoided being drawn into war and remained steadfast to this day. But the countries to its east had in fact changed.

However, it was not because of war this time. Or at least, not because they were destroyed in a war. When the Azueda Alliance split into Azaley and South Azuetta, the nations of Dolbogarde and Siglair, along with the city-states of Bardoth and Ortenon, responded by merging together.

Bardoth and Ortenon were once fed considerable resources by the Alliance in order to keep the threat of the Man-Eating Swamp in check. With the dissolution of the Alliance, and river transport in general coming to an end, the two city-states found their support drying up, leaving them entirely unable to shoulder their burden.

But their fall would be no laughing matter to their southern neighbor, Siglair. While Siglair also bordered the swamp and was deeply involved in defending against its monsters, the loss of two allies in that endeavor would substantially increase their burden. The ramifications of that would be felt even in Dolbogarde, which lay behind Siglair.

So the four states banded together to form the nation of Shegarda. Apparently both Radlania and the elven caravan had been great supporters of the merger. One could say the formation of Shegarda had kept the east-central region mostly intact, despite multiple wars shifting borders back and forth.

For how long I’ve lived, it seemed like the world was always at war, with no signs of that coming to an end. That wasn’t meant to be a criticism though. Even with the great threat posed by monsters, humans couldn’t stop fighting each other. That was part of what it meant to be human.

Some trampled others to sate their own greed, others took up the sword to protect those they loved. Some took to the battlefield out of hatred, while for others it was their only home. There were as many reasons for fighting as there were people who fought. But the result was the same: humans couldn’t stop fighting.
