Iron Boot Town was like a crude bronze nail hammered into the edge of the Kingdom's Northern Territory.
It lacked the polished decorum of the southern cities, possessing instead a wild, untamed energy. Adventurers, traveling merchants, Mercenaries... they all flocked here from the Kingdom's heartland, driven by dreams of fortune or the need to escape, some continuing onward to the even more desolate north.
People came and went, bringing not just their bags and swords, but also their deeply held gods and beliefs.
Here, faiths clashed and collided, like the never-ending brawls in a tavern.
In this chaotic landscape of belief, the faith of Cadus—which revered courage, protection, and the way of the Warrior—had also been spread by the border Knights, and it too had taken root and sprouted here.
The church at the west end of town, built of gray stone with simple, unadorned lines, was its symbol, marked by the sword-and-shield crest on its roof.
「Dawn.」
