At the border between the Central Plains and the South lay a vast plain. Due to limited wealth and resources, there were no frontier fortifications here, only a pitch-black plain that looked as though it had been scorched by a great fire.
On a dead tree, a breeze stirred the several corpses of witches hanging from its branches. Three male corpses were nailed to the trunk as well. They were witch hunters.
This dead tree served as the boundary marker. Beyond it lay the witches' territory. The Central Plains and the West belonged to the Holy Healing Church, the freezing North was governed by the King of the North, the East was the territory of the tribes and natives, and the South was the witches' kingdom.
