The Callex Region was located northeast of Olcour Capital. Here, lush forests were home to a diverse ecosystem. Massive mountain ranges protected it from storms that came from the south, and the absence of human activities preserved its natural richness.

Herros Uthalonica stepped forward and stood beside the emperor's mount.
"Your Majesty, we have scouted both north and south, but they really aren't planning on letting us through. Sailing around the land would take too much time."
Vedis gritted his teeth.
