Acadian Empire, Ulier Continent.
Towar was the Empire's southernmost border stronghold, standing as the first line of defense against the hordes of magical beasts that attacked several times each year.
In addition to these relentless assaults, invasions by orcs, trolls, ogres, and goblins were a frequent threat.
That is why the city was always guarded by at least two Mana Vortex Magi, supported by hundreds of Mana Liquefaction Magi, and an even greater number of Mana Foundation Magi.
In usual times, the Magi stationed here would love spending their time battling monsters and beasts that emerged from the Murky Mountains.
After all, the constant battles tempered them, and the regular usage of spells allowed them to get accustomed to them. This, in turn, helped them smoothly advance to the next rank.
