Amangdu City,
As the holy city of the Church of the God of War, a large portion of the God of War's followers gathered in Amangdu City were Extraordinary Professionals, with adventurers making up the largest number among them.
In the Western Desert, where order was even more chaotic, the people living here were tougher and more fierce than those in the central and eastern regions of the Fanor Continent. The God of War, who revered warfare and strength, was also the deity with the most followers in the Western Desert.
For this reason, adventurers from all over the desert came to Amangdu City every day on pilgrimage, making it the place with the greatest number of Extraordinary Professionals in the Western Desert.
With so many Extraordinary Professionals gathered in Amangdu City, many markets catering specifically to them naturally sprang up throughout the city. Adventurers traded their expedition gains and extraordinary items in these markets, exchanging what they had for what they needed.
The Church of the God of War was quite pleased with this. So long as those Extraordinary Professionals followed the rules they had set and did not offend the God of War's majesty, they let them do as they pleased.
After all, it benefited the Church of the God of War as well, making Amangdu City the most prosperous and sacred city in the Western Desert in many people's minds.
Unlike other deities, Karis, the God of War, did not care for so-called asceticism or arduous cultivation, nor did his doctrines impose such requirements upon his followers.
Instead, he advocated the restrained indulgence of desires and more intense, powerful battles.
There was even a flesh trade in Amangdu City, which showed exactly what kind of style the Church of the God of War had.
