Chapter 3. The Northen Folk

To the north east of the Deep Forest is the valley Omise and the home of the prairie people. Established as an empire under the rule of two parties; shaman and tribe leader, they are plentiful in numbers and fierce fighters. The prairie people are quite xenophobic against all other races including human kingdoms especially the Ostarion empire. Shamans play an important role in the prairie culture, regarded as holy or chosen beings; the shaman king has complete power including over the prairie king. They however do not involve themselves in politicis and instead choose to further their magical studies. The shaman king resides on a small mountain where the Babylon's Gate resides, very little information is known about this gate due to the lack of acessiblitiy to the prairie lands; even to adventurers there is very limited passage. 

The Ostarion Empire and the Prairie Kingdom are in an open war against each other after the demon war. The rapid expansion from the Ostarion Empire was seen as a threat to the prairie people and since has been in open warfare against the Ostarion people. The wars have died down from large scale battles to smaller skirmishes near the boarder city of Caerleon and the Tranquil Forest; north of the capital Rosengard. The city was established after many years of fierce battles in the Tranquil Forest, as the government needed to establish a foot hold, a town was built; soon it became a city due to the trade of magical beasts from the Tranquil Forest. While fights do happen, over the years it has slowed down to the point of an unofficial ceasefire. 

Very little information is given about the Prairie Kingdom, reclusive and mysterious; maybe one day more adventurers will be able to break the tension and gather more information.

Chapter 3.1 Babylon's Gate

Although Bablyon's Gate is now the home of the Shaman King, it was not always so. There has been records about it from many races from the around the year 515; with the first Shaman King taking residene around the year 517. It has been restricted from all other races and kingdoms except the Shamans and the king. Records state that Bablyon's Gate is a gateway to somewhere esle in the world; however, there is no strong evidence causing it to become a fairytale. The earliest record had said Hemran Corteax had journeyed from the Elven Kingdom to the Prairie Lands in search for the wonders of the world; he might not only have been the first man to make peace and set into the prairie kingdom but also discover Babylon's Gate. In his book and journal, it was said that he had used the gate to travel to another land and then the Shaman King had banned all other races from reaching the gate.

If the statements in Herman Corteax is true, then Bablyon's Gate could be a wonder of this world allowing us to travel to different parts of the world; however, this has been yet to be proven as many parts of his journals were destroyed.

Chapter 3.2 Beyond the Prairie Lands

Beyond the mountain of Babylon's Gate is a the Frozen Forest, here there are many strong magical beasts, as well as freezing temperatures; it is truling a harsh envrioment. Deep within the Frozen Forest resides the remaining demons that were defeated from the war; living in exile from the rest of the world. Many people have believed that the demons must have died yet there has always been sightings of demons from adventurers that wander into the frozen forest looking to make money. As dangerous and harsh as it is, the possibitiy to make money is very lucrative; many magical beasts are a great source income as magical items can be sold at a high price to adventurers. 

Many demons were lost after the king and generals were killed; almost if they were free from a magical spell by the demon king and was granted a free will. This however did not change discrimination against demons, and will remain strong due to the war but there are many who believe in that demons can be a great race if given a chance, improving our way of life even; however, the majority disagree. With demon slaves selling as one of the highest prized items there are, it seems there will never be a chance of a demon nation.
