In short, thanks to Solam's policy of working off one's debt for freedom, Ocasuan continued to maintain rapid development and grew more prosperous by the day. Of course, no one knew how many slaves had died in the process. Solam was not a philanthropist, after all. Giving slaves a glimmer of hope was already the utmost benevolence he could offer.
With the labor of tens of thousands of slaves, Ocasuan had undergone tremendous changes. First, five excellent deepwater ports had been built along the island's outer ring, and more than a dozen towns had emerged. The primary residents of these towns were now White Werewolves and lizardfolk. Human slaves had to become free citizens before they were qualified to settle down in the towns.

The middle ring was a huge, towering circular mountain range, containing countless mineral deposits and snow-capped mountains, and serving as the island's source of fresh water. The inner ring was a vast primordial forest inhabited by countless ancient behemoths, making it extremely dangerous.
