Amithren's words sounded outrageous. It was clearly the Royal Court that had failed to defend its territory, yet he wanted to cut off their kinsmen in the Fallen Land.
But to be fair, that wasn't really the case.
Demons were not the Great Chaos Enemy. Although from the perspective of the central government of the Realm of Order, there was no difference between the two, as beings on the side of Order, the Celestial God's Shadow wouldn't just slaughter all the mortals in their territory. They were more inclined to convert mortals into their own believers.
Most of the original inhabitants who could flee had already fled. Those who couldn't would keep their heads down, living under Demon rule and looking south for the Royal Court's army, year after year.
