I forged an empire of my own design. I split the world into four mighty continents and bound each village to its own absurd little square-shaped isle. At the very heart of the world, I raised an imperial stronghold—a grand design meant to restrain the growing influence of the continents and keep their power in balance.

Yet as I continued shaping this realm, it became far more enchanting than I ever expected. That foolish grid-like map revealed a charm of its own, turning into something strangely captivating.

Now I plan to summon fleets instead of simple walking paths, letting ships traverse the world where roads once lay. And I will place every harbor with great care, choosing only the safest corners of the seas.
