The Southern Mountain Range was established on combat prowess.
Founded within the mountains and forests, surrounded by fearsome beasts yet being able to expand and thrive through forming of settlements, the Southern Mountain Range had never lacked brave warriors. It could even be said that if one was born within the Southern Mountain Range, he was destined to become a brave warrior.
The structure of settlements was able to provide better training for the warriors of the Southern Mountain Range. However, the same settlement structure also restricted the Southern Mountain Range, making it impossible for the Southern Mountain Range to create a cultural heritage like the Great Xia.
In reality, all the kings of the Southern Mountain Range in history had the ambition to unite the settlements. However, it was too difficult.
The different cultures and the unique geographical limitations made this goal exceedingly hard to realise.
