The loyalty ritual is a form of contract, and contracts are a part of the power rules of Dragon Sleep Continent.
"The Great Dragon watches over you."
The people of Shadowflame Duchy often express this blessing, and it's not just a simple wish; it could actually become a reality.
The reason is simple.
The entire Shadowflame Duchy managed to carve out oases as warm as spring amid the icy tundra, all thanks to the radiating power of the Shadowflame Dragon.
Beings like Ros the Clay Dragon had their origins in the power of the Shadowflame Dragon.
The Shadowflame Dragon's blessing extends to every corner of the nation; naturally, contracts established in its name are influenced by the dragon's power.
This influence may not be immediate, but over time, it is inevitable.
