What did it mean to be grand? This was a simple question, and it had a simple answer.
Magnificent and imposing.
With this definition in mind, within the continent of Begliwick, there was only one territory truly worthy of the word grand.
The Galeburst dynasty was magnificent in size and imposing in power. Between the Volcan Empire and the Galeburst dynasty, most believed that the latter would win unilaterally. That sounded insane, could it actually be so one-sided in a direct confrontation?
The reality was likely not, that was just the view of the common people. That wasn't to say there was no element of truth to their beliefs, however.
How could a powerful empire develop in the cold mountain tops of Volcan? The hostile environment did not allow for their population size to flourish and it also hampered the motivation of its residents. For them, each day was bleak and lightless.
