The greedy Beastman Empire

At the summit of Twinface Mountain, Alex gazed out at the sea of clouds, the sun in the sky a little too bright for her eyes. It was the first time she had seen the sun of the Eldoria continent.

The tiger guard was also a little dazed, having never seen the sun before. As a native race of the Eldoria continent, it had never seen the sun for as long as it could remember. 

"You're way too slow. I'll take you flying, you just point the way."

As soon as Alex finished speaking, a spatial cage appeared around the tiger guard, trapping it inside.

Their figures disappeared in an instant, speeding north.

Meanwhile, in the far north...

Here lay a vast, boundless expanse of ice fields, with white ice mounds rising and falling, crisscrossed by several frozen rivers. Vegetation was scarce, and the environment was harsh.

Most races couldn't stand such a harsh environment, so there were almost no races living in the far north.
