"The plains of beltier is a place where one can wander for days and find no one. It is located in a poor country of Ethra, Frida, and is devoid of all life through a sort of curse. No one knows why it is like this, but I, Tollson, who was chosen by the great being to follow the path of the adventurer, am also stumped. Even so, this is home to the collective monks, a sect dedicated to the preservation of culture and knowledge. Honestly, in my great opinion,  I don't see why they would choose to settle here. Though they do a pretty good job of protecting it. I haven't encountered a single monk here to this date. I am starting to doubt if they even exist at this point.
