Like we had expected, the journey over to the land that the Demon Clans ruled was a quick and boring affair, nothing happening as we rode from the center of the Empire over to the western expanse, where the majority of the Empire's breadbasket was located; smooth, rolling hills with an abundance of fertile land sprawled out on both sides of Sanctus Ignacia, but a lot of the more crop oriented Nobles and merchants occupied the west.
In the east, the land was just a bit harsher and less forgiving, so while food was still grown in abundance to feed the various territories built atop its rocky expanse, there was a slim amount of excess that was shipped out and sold to other parts of the Empire.
The Demon Clans themselves relied on not only their skillset to remain wealthy, but also on the fertile lands around themselves to be independent whilst also offering a large quantity of crops to sustain the Empire, earning themselves an even deeper indispensable spot then they were already in.
