About
■ The Dongmyeong Continent
The Dongmyeong Continent is a vast eastern continent connected to the Euros Continent. It borders the eastern frontier of the Slavia Empire to the north and connects to warm archipelagos and trading ports to the south. For ages, it developed a unique culture and civilization, isolated from the Western world by rugged mountain ranges, vast steppes, and rough seas. Recently, the Wae Army Alliance imported firearms from the Kingdom of Arcadia in Euros.
