The Alia Principality, a few hundred miles away from the uninhabited region bordering the Pamiji Plateau, there is a remote city.
Its local name is 'Ephesowe,' but outsiders prefer to call it Shepherd City because it produces the icy plain rock sheep that are all the rage within the entire Alia Principality's food industry. The farmers living here almost all have their own sheep pastures.
Due to the large number of sheep pastures, Shepherd City is unlike other cities, which are surrounded by tall city walls.
Shepherd City is a semi-open city with no city gates, only checkpoints set up on some main roads, somewhat resembling the Fairy Tale World's Wotglas.
However, the fact that Shepherd City is a semi-open city does not mean it is unsafe. It is surrounded by mountains on two sides, and also by the Snowflake River that flows from the perennially frozen Pamiji Plateau. There's only one flat road that leads into the city.
