Eomis, the continent where the Forest of Fireflies was, was divided into three nations: the Sapphire Empire, the Nation of the Forest of Fireflies, and No One's Land.
No One's Land was actually the ogre and giant kingdom, but the Sapphire Emperor didn't recognize them as a sovereign nation, and neither did his successors.
To get to the continent of Larion, where the Forest of Plenty was located, one had to pass through No One's Land.
The ogres ruled the southern regions of the land, while the giants ruled the northern ones. They each wanted a toll, and if the traveler couldn't pay, they ate him.
Elmar knew all that as he packed a map together with his staff inside his dimensional bag.
He also had food in there and water, and had even indulged himself by having a bag of the cookies he had spent all day yesterday making in there.
