The Calrad Empire stood on the ancient continent of Calradia. It was once a peaceful and prosperous land, but those good times did not last long. Civil war broke out, and smoke filled the sky. During the long period of conflict, six nations arose: the Principality of Vaegirs, from the snowy north, where two-thirds of its territory is covered in snow year-round and fur and timber are its main trades; the Kingdom of Nords, from the northwestern coast, a land of forests, snowfields, and shorelines, whose people rely mainly on maritime trade and raiding; the Khergit Khanate, from the eastern steppes and semi-arid grasslands, whose economy depends on herding and plunder; the Sarranid Sultanate, from the southern deserts, made up mostly of deserts and oases, with an economy based on caravan trade, oasis farming, and slavery; the Rhodok Federation, from the southwestern highlands, a mountainous, forested land with a thriving mining industry and many large lakes; and the Kingdom of Rhodoks, at the center of the continent, the strongest kingdom, with varied terrain, mostly plains, developed agriculture, and formidable military strength. These kingdoms were undeniably powerful, but rumors claimed they had all once been conquered by an evil force from beyond the land. That was only a rumor, though. What kind of mark will our protagonist, Zhong Hanliang, make on this continent of conflict and fantasy...? (I’ve been a longtime fan of Paocai. Back in 2018, when I was still in middle school, I learned about the Light and Darkness mod through the streamer Youzha Aote. I sincerely hope Big Paocai releases the second installment soon!)
Recommend it looks good, looks good, looks good!
