The Slatemark Empire spanned the entirety of the Central Continent, the largest and arguably the most influential of the five continents. Home to nearly three billion of the world's ten billion people, it was a beacon of prosperity. Unlike the other continents, which grappled constantly with miasmic species and cults, the Central Continent had been spared such chaos. As a result, the Empire flourished, offering its citizens a quality of life unmatched anywhere else.
At the heart of this empire was Avalon City—the capital. A sprawling metropolis housing thirty million people, it accounted for one percent of the Empire's entire population. Covering fifty thousand square kilometers, Avalon wasn't just a city; it was a world unto itself.
