Territory

Territory
The term Territory officially designates a recognized geographical area outside the UER and its defended border, the Dragon Shield, drawn roughly parallel to the Dragef Wall. All four territories are found in the south near the Dragonlands, the dragon's Territory.

The youngest Territory, the Sun Frontier Territory (SFT), was founded near the turn of the millennium by Allsworth Provit, which offered the land to religious refugees from Atos called the Nomarem.

Previously the SFT had sat mostly abandoned after the Shrey Fen Conquest because it was thought to be as worthless as the Shrey Fen Desert Territory (SFDT) to the north. The SFT's plains were choked by a weed called jespin, Lorests formed a wall dividing it in half, and the mountains to its south rose directly into the Dragonlands.

After the Nomarem settled the SFT's southwestern quarter, jespin root was discovered as a stimulant drug, triggering a farming boom that turned most of the SFT into an industrial agricultural operation.

While the dragons clashed with the UER near the Dragef Wall to the west and raided Lasko Provit to the east, they rarely caused any damage on the defenseless SFT, allowing it to prosper as an official Territory outside the protections of UER law and its enforcers.
