The once-glorious civilization of the Aiselon Continent had long since turned to dust over the millennia.
The long passage of time and the resulting gaps in knowledge meant that among Roland's party, only the Minstrel, with his obsession for ancient legends and epics, knew a thing or two about that lost history.
According to Galvis, though the Aiselon Continent was vast and boundless, its political structure in that distant era was vastly different from the landscape of competing nations Roland was familiar with.
Of course, Galvis didn't speak with absolute certainty; after all, his knowledge was based mostly on fragmented ballads and vague historical accounts.
But one thing was certain: even with undercurrents of conflict among the various human tribes, they were all, at least in name, subjects of a single, vast, and powerful Empire.
The Dawn Wind Empire.
