Long ago, before the conjunction of spheres, a large and mighty empire named Nova empire is formed, dominating the entire continest in west, a continent unfamiliar to those in continent and isles of east. This empire is formed and inhabitated solely by humans, unlike the humans of east who came to this world through conjuction of spheres eventually landing on eastern continent, these humans of western continent are truly of this land, just like gnomes, dwarves and halfling in eastern continent.
These worldly humans are completely devoid of any chaotic energy, unlike eastern humans who saturated with chaotic energy and carry a small chance to awake source which allow one to use magic, the western human can never awake source and cannot become sorcerers. However, while they cannot awake source, their physiology is superior to eastern humans, they more resilent to disease, better physical capibilities and strong brain that allow them to learn everything fast, these humans are known to adapt to any environment regardless of obstacles.
It was due to this very reason, instead of pursuing alchemy or rituals like humans in east, these people, rely completely on natural science, and perfected it to such a degree, that they can perform various miracles with non-magical means, these miracles in form of artifacts and elixirs are called technology by the western humans.
When conjunction of sphere occurs causing the western continent like eastern continent to get filled with monsters, it was with the help of these technology that, western humans managed to fought back the horror, healed the wounded and created safe lands against the horror that could strike at humanity at any time and moment.
As centuries passes the Nova empire grew more advanced and powerful, they created various transports, the land vehicles that need no beast to pull, the aircraft that carry people through sky, and water vehicle which is made of metal rather than wood that empire used in past before the scientific knowledge become more advanced. They can even turn any barren land into fertile ground for agriculture, create medicines for various plagues, they communicate for distances, can watch the things happen in faraway land just in rooms an so on.
Nova empire is a true paradise, afterall, in this land everyone's dream can come true, this land is full trials of progress and technology, the society that achieved so much, there is unconditional regard and respect for human right, lavish leisure and cultural pursuit for all, rapidly growing economy with unique business opportunities, a place where life is meant to be enjoyed provided one work hard enough to enjoy all the benefits that empire can offer.
One day, after new satellites is launched, that not only serves as eyes for westerners but also a mean to detect resources, through this they discovered another continent in east, something they don't know about, the satellites also detected prcious resources both common element of periodic table and uncommon element that cannot be place in the table.
Soon, the emperor ordered an expenditure to far north of the continent in east, the far north of eastern continent is frozen land but has highest deposit for minerals, crude oil, radioactive materials and natural gases that empire need, soon the metal ship sailed to far north of eastern continent to establish mines in the frozen place to extract resources for the empire, completely unaware that they soon encounter the intelligent beings in east, the gnomes, dwarves, halflings, elves and eastern humans, making western humans realise that they are not the only intelligent beings in this world.
