In the blink of an eye, a whole year had passed...
Since the death of the old supreme elder of the Edwardstone family, few things have changed in the Central Continent.
The situation between the Southern and Western regions was still bad, with powers still standing for or against the sides of the invisible confrontation that currently existed on the continent.
Low-level people continued to migrate northward from the more tense areas, going not only to the Black Plain Empire but also to places like Albano and Rosser, states relatively further away from danger.
Blackrock and the Flaming Empire had not been benefiting from these moves, as they bordered the Evergreen Empire, a place that could soon become a battleground.
But even at a disadvantage to their fellows further north, these two states were not in as bad a situation as places like the Flowers Kingdom.
