Judging from his appearance, this lord most likely hailed from the Middle Kingdom region. That region was formed from the remnants of the old Chinese lands, and in the present day, its inhabitants make up the largest population in the world.
Records showed that the Middle Kingdom boasted more lords than any other region across the globe, its sheer numbers rivaling entire continents.
The Pangaea Nova Continent itself stretched wide in the west. From the north lay the Eurasia United, below it the Mediterra Alliance, further east the vast Middle Kingdom, followed by Himalaya Haven, and at the southern edge, the Pan-African League.
If Atlas simply let his floating island drift along its current path, he would eventually dock somewhere between Mediterra and the Middle Kingdom. It was no surprise, then, that lords from both these regions might be patrolling these waters. Movement between continents was nothing unusual, after all.
