Land of Dragons
A forbidden frontier where ancient beasts rule and human footsteps rarely tread.
In the world of The Faraway Paladin, the term often refers to the vast, untamed wilderness beyond human civilization where dragons and high-level monsters dwell. Separated from the safety of kingdoms like Halkenburg by the imposing Great Wall, this region represents the boundary between order and chaos. It is not a unified nation but rather a collection of wild territories claimed by ancient beasts.
