A decade later, Intayan emerged as a dominant global power.
The region most affected by this shift was the conflict-ridden continent of Fritz.
Given its proximity—separated only by the Yruvhan Sea—Fritz struggled with educational setbacks, particularly in mathematics.
Seizing this opportunity, Intayan directed negotiations to its advantage.
One day, a politician stationed near the border became intrigued by how a war-torn land like Fritz could still afford expensive goods. His curiosity led him to an unusual discovery—a mining operation.
A small coastal nation called Sylabyss thrived solely on exporting a resource known as Ethereum.
This rare mineral was the key to their survival, preventing outside forces from disrupting their fragile defenses.
Ethereum's value was so immense that its trade earnings nearly matched 75% of Intayan's profits from commerce with Fritz over the past decade.
