The Northern Territory Dukedom, a neighboring northern country of the New Moon Kingdom, had transformed from a tribal alliance to a nascent nation under the feudal serfdom system just a few decades ago, all thanks to a monarch of great talent and strategy.
For centuries, the people of the Northern Territory were equated with pirates, bandits, and barbarians in the eyes of those from the New Moon Kingdom, the Falling Star Kingdom, and the West Yonette Empire, and they were synonymous with savagery and backwardness.
Even now, the situation had not changed much, even though the Northern Territory Dukedom had already civilized. It still did not fit well with many of the countries in the southern part of the continent, not just because of the technological gap, but also due to significant geopolitical and cultural conflicts.
