"This is a happy moment for both the Indrath Empire and the Arya Empire."
Count Harencross spoke with a calm voice.
His blonde hair moved gently in the soft wind as he stood and waited for everyone to listen.
"As you all know," he continued, his face turning serious, "our two empires are surrounded by five other empires on every side."
The continent of Elora was split into nine large territories.
The Indrath Empire and the Arya Empire held the biggest and most central land.
Because of this, the other five empires hated them and wanted to take their power away.
Some of those empires showed their hate by stopping trade or making prices very high.
Some tried to pull allies away from Indrath and Arya. But others were much more cruel.
One of the worst was the Zakir Empire. Among the five, Zakir was the smallest in size.
It shared borders with both the Indrath Empire and the Arya Empire.
