Philades Continent

**Philades Continent** is a large continent about twice as the Australian continent, located northwest of the Rodenius Continent and west of Japan, affiliated with the Third Civilization Area.

## Location

The southern half of the Philades Continent is the Third Civilization Area and the northern half is considered part of outside the civilization zone. The southern part has a lot of plains, and upland farming and the forestry is thriving. The northern part is a cold region where demons appear, so the development is difficult. Magic gem mines are also scattered, but they do not seem to be enough to be used by civilizations in the third civilization sphere, which is one of the reasons that the Parpaldia Empire's expansion policy was implemented.

## Chronology

### Mythical Era

In ancient times, after the transfer of the Ravernal Empire, several kingdoms had existed but almost all of them were destroyed by the invasion of the Demon Lord Nosgorath a hundred years later. Then, the Angels of the Sun God arrived and destroyed the Demon Lord's army, bringing peace to the Philades Continent.

### Pre-Transfer of Japan

Over the years, the Parpaldia Empire has conquered almost the entire Third Civilization and has grown to have tremendous influence on the surrounding civilized nations. In effect, it was a major nation that overwhelmed the Philades Continent.

### Post-Transfer of Japan

Parpaldia Empire had foolishly declared war on Japan and lost the war, losing most of their national power, military power, and territories. Countries such as Kooze, Marta, Arukh and 69 other former territories of the empire regained their independence after the Japanese-Parpaldian War.
