In the far north of the Celestian Empire lay the frozen expanse known as the Sky Empire.
This land was trapped in eternal winter, its icy winds cutting through the air like blades.
Snow piled high on the jagged mountain peaks, while frost clung to every surface.
The cold was relentless, seeping into bones and making it nearly impossible for mortals to survive. For them, every breath here was a battle, as their very blood threatened to freeze within their veins.
Despite these harsh conditions, the Sky Empire had stood for centuries, as ancient as the Celestian Empire itself.
The current Sky Emperor, filled with ambition and envy, had long coveted the fertile lands of the Celestian Empire.
To him, those warmer lands represented power and prosperity, a stark contrast to the barren, icy wastelands he ruled.
His desire to claim the Celestian territory was not just for expansion, but for survival.
