Among the nine kingdoms of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, the Eastern Wind Kingdom occupied the northeasternmost region, sharing its borders with the Great Ratholos Empire's southeastern region and the Eastern Sea.
However, despite possessing direct access to the Eastern Sea, like the Great Ratholos Empire, it was far inferior in terms of power. In fact, it was the weakest of the nine kingdoms within the alliance.
Its strongest expert was only a Low-level Rank 4 warrior.
Nevertheless, this shouldn't be surprising, given it was a direct neighbor of the holy land of body refining. Losing its potential talents to the Great Ratholos Empire all year round was to be expected.
That said, it didn't necessarily imply the Eastern Wind Kingdom permanently lost its talents to the Great Ratholos Empire. Some of them would return to their home after making progress in their training and assume high positions in the kingdom.
