Mystery: Pathway to the Abyss

In the summer of 1319, the decadent Bairam was dying. In the past few hundred years, the Balam Empire was the only religious force that could compete with the powers of the gods in the northern continent. It was a huge empire spanning the northern and southern continents. However, with the rise of industrial civilization in the northern continent, the Balam Empire fell into a disadvantage in terms of economy, military, and culture. By the beginning of this century, the Balam Empire had become the "Sick Man of the South" It has land annexation and class conflicts that will inevitably intensify after the feudal empire developed for hundreds of years, and it also has complex conflicts between various ethnic groups and religions. Coupled with the continuous encroachment of the forces of the Northern Continent, the entire country of the Balam Empire was on the verge of collapse. It has a vast territory but cannot implement effective rule. It has a huge army but has suffered successive defeats in foreign wars. It has a large population but a divided population. It was an era when the building was about to collapse and crises were everywhere. It was an era that contained both destruction and rebirth. That was the era in which Grebor Asumael lived.
