The Warm Fire Commerce Association has never understood why the Southern Retreat Land is always unwilling to accept the olive branch extended by the commerce association, always harboring a sense of distrust?
In the eyes of the Warm Fire Commerce Association: it is normal for you not to trust those bastards from the Magic Guild, but we are not the same as the Magic Guild.
However, from the standpoint of the humanoid but non-human races of the Retreat Land: whether it's the Magic Guild or the Warm Fire Commerce Association, in the end, they are all "human beings."
The dispute between the Guild and the Commerce Association, as seen by the Retreat Land, looks more like internal strife among the human race.
Why get involved then?
Of course, it is clear to anyone with discernment that there are good and bad people in both the Guild and the Commerce Association.
