A long time ago.
Before the rise of the Three Kingdoms, there was no Great Wall dividing the southern region from the rest of the world.
Unlike Earth, Veloria had only a single vast landmass. A sprawling continent divided into countless regions, each distinct in its climate, terrain, and fortune.
The northern region was the harshest of them all. There food was scarce, warmth was fleeting, and surviving itself was a daily struggle. There was little there to sustain prosperity or comfort, and even less to nurture ambition.
In contrast, the southern region was a realm of abundance. It was rich in minerals, fertile in soil, and overflowing with flora and fauna. Rivers meandered through green plains, mountains glittered with ore, and the weather was mild enough to nurture various cultures and civilizations. It was a paradise compared to the frozen desolation of the north.
