There were no nations on the Begaritt Continent, only scattered villages and naturally formed markets and cities at transportation crossroads.
Most of the continent was wasteland or desert, with very little land suitable for cultivation. Any place with even a modest water source generally had a village or market nearby.
Because there were many monsters, the harsh living conditions had shaped the local way of life.
There were basically two kinds of people on the Begaritt Continent.
The first were warriors.
Because of succubi, every party needed female warriors. When the men were controlled by succubi, the women had to become the main force responsible for killing them—and the cure for the men's enchantment afterward.
As a result, most children in the villages, regardless of gender, left home after coming of age to make their way as warriors.
Warriors on the Begaritt Continent were not primarily swordsmen of the Three Sword Styles like those on the Central Continent. They used all kinds of weapons here.
Greatswords, hammers, axes, mallets, flails, bows—you could find everything. This had given rise to a distinctive local warrior system.
However, since most local monsters were heavily armored, large blunt weapons were especially common. Thin swords and sabers, which were more widespread on the Central Continent, were rarely seen.
Because there was no proper educational system, mages were also scarce on this continent. Most mages on the Begaritt Continent were foreign adventurers. Local mages were practically nonexistent.
