Peiersido Grand Canyon is a geographical name that isn't—and wouldn't be—marked on any map in the world. This is because the vast territory is the fiefdom of the Ashford Family, who used their influence and power to effectively 'erase' it from global maps, preferring to keep prying eyes at bay. Consequently, the area became a true forbidden zone. The British living nearby dared not approach the so-called 'devil's territory,' for it was said that ninety percent of those who entered out of curiosity never came out, disappearing mysteriously inside. Even the lucky ten percent who managed to escape sometimes died inexplicably later. It was the Devil's domain, a place no one dared to venture near.
It's said the Ashford Family began its decline after the great war of the century before last. But as the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Though they were past their peak, the Ashfords remained the top power—the number one force—in the United Kingdom's Dark World.
