Dazmund is pretty closed off when it comes to it's neighboring empires, but that doesn't mean they don't trade, so, is Delmand carts really that unusual? I suppose in this situation (having it go down the main chute to Dazmund rather than its trade routes. I suppose Delmand carts also don't go completely into the land of Dazmund and trading shipments can simply be exchanged at the border so in this case Delmand carts going straight into Dazmund are rare.

So yes, the first 30 some pages were all introduction and background story of what you will figure out is actually another one but long background story (the female character on the cover is important I assure you, she will come up eventually)

Someone from one of my other comic hosting hubs questioned why was it only Sketaldaz had a ridiculously long name, These other character's names are just as long (aka they have full names) but for the sake of not getting lost in detail, I try to keep the full name introductions at bay.

How do Machucan names work? First name is chosen by one parent, the second name chosen by the other parent (unless that other parent died in Sketaldaz's case and both names can be chosen by the surviving parent), the last name is then chosen by the child machucan's preference to which last name of their parent they value most (but in the case of royalty they will always choose their main lineage (Daz/Diz/Del). So Elajee and Namilnekta were chosen by her father and mother and Del is her chosen last name due to her royal lineage (we don't know if her mom or dad is the direct lineage to Del)
Don't fret there'll be a guide for these cultural things at the end of the chapter. They aren't crucial to know, so the guide can be skipped, but for those who are curious, feel free to read when it comes out.
