Gurganaff Plain

**Gurganaff Plain** is a frozen field in the southwest of Guradoah region in the northern of Grameus Continent.

## Location

The Gurganaff Plain is located in the southwest of Guradoah region in the northern of Grameus Continent. It is the entrance of a valley between two treacherous mountains. It is a wasteland highly dense in magic with the ice and snow in the season of intense frigidity. The signs of vegetation have since decreased. The number of wild beasts has decreased as well, drastically being replaced by the greater magical beasts and monsters.

## Chronology

### Great Race-Demon War Arc

Nine months later, after the construction of the Doors of the World was completed and the Emissaries of the Sun God returned to Earth via whirlpool. The 1,000 strong soldiers of the last group of the Alliance called the Demon Lord Extermination Army under Commander Esperanto with Ta Lou, Kenshiva, Luca, and Kijje marched towards the Gurganaff Plain.

One month later, after the Demon Lord Extermination Army departed from the land of Topa, the Red Ogre reconnoitered the Gurganaff Plain with the White Ogre. Reconnaissance wasn’t a job they’d entrust to the ogres, but it was far more preferable than sending small amounts of goblins or orcs that would then fall victim to attacks from wild beasts.

Two months later, the Demon Lord Extermination Army marched in a wasteland that was unimaginably harsh with the shortage of food and water. However, after 500 soldiers got lost or buried by blizzards, they forcibly retreated to Topa. Ta Lou, Kenshiva, Luca, and Kijje had divided the fighting amongst themselves, but the monsters, beasts, and enemies that they’ll encounter moving forward will have to be dealt with by their own hands.

Two weeks later, after Esperanto and other 500 soldiers divided and left back to Topa, the four were used to being away from other people, the occasional attacks from beasts and magical monsters hardly put a dent on them. The Red Ogre and the White Ogre, who scouted for resources, stood in front of Ta Lou and the others and blocked their way at the Gurganaff Plain.

During the fight against the Red Ogre and the White Ogre in the Battle of Guradoah, Ta Lou swiftly swung the blade down on the Red Ogre’s head. Suddenly, the White Ogre came over the Red Ogre and pushed him out of the way, receiving the full force of Ta Lou’s swing with his arm. The blade easily sliced through the end of his arm towards the elbow, turning him to scream in pain. While Ta Lou cut down the White Ogre, the Red Ogre was restrained by Kenshiva and Kijje. Since both of his restrainers’ strengths were more than obvious to him, the Red Ogre lost all luster in attacking them.

After the White Ogre was killed, Kenshiva and Kijje resumed their attacks on the Red Ogre. Luca used her magic to process in the Red Ogre's mind. The Red Ogre slipped through once he saw the opportunity. He instantly felt dread from the spine-chilling voice of the elven mage.

While the Red Ogre was confused, Ta Lou closed in while Kenshiva attacked from the rear and Kijje from the flank. With all sides blocked off, the Red Ogre then jumped out. He landed next to the White Ogre’s remains, picked them up, and clutched them close. As the Red Ogre ran away, Ta Lou and the others looked on as they decided not to force themselves to give chase, saving their energy on that encounter.

Before they'd enter the final battle, Luca had been using her magic to strengthen the capabilities of the three men. After sifting through the thoughts of the Red Ogre, Luca was able to look through his memories, confirming for herself the current state of Guradoah. She learned the Demon Lord was currently regaining his lost power until he had gained a fifth of his power back next five years. They must hurry to strike while the Demon Lord still wasn't in his full strength.

The group took turns keeping watch during the night. Their rest period was shortened from six hours to four hours in the lead up to their arrival at Guradoah.
