The three clans had dominated the Primordial World. Though they ruled territory through their clans rather than dynasties, the two were much the same in certain respects.
A dynasty's fortune was similarly no different from a race's fortune.
To gather fortune, strengthen it, and ensure the prosperity of a race's fortune, the territory one actually controlled was of paramount importance!
