Heiside State, Eltoya.
This was the richest place on the blackened continent, with rivers flowing with silver and trees growing gold. Heavenly Falling Objects had never chosen to land here, which kept the realm away from dangerous political dealings.
It was the trade center of Heiside State, a safe haven and outpost for white-gloved foreigners penetrating this dark continent. Wealth acquired through illegal channels elsewhere would be laundered here into clean bills, transitioning into legal circulation back to the native countries of these investors. It was a suppurating sore oozing pus on cracked skin, the gem of Heiside State.
The war ignited in Gambia had not affected Eltoya's prosperity. On the contrary, many owners of illicit factories had fled overnight to the capital, Felda, and checked into its most luxurious five-star hotels.
