The City of Zore is a place located right at the very edge of the empire. This specific territory actually falls under the rule of the Kingdom of Halveron, which is a country that originally submitted to the emperor to gain protection during the chaotic times of war.
Because it was situated so far out on the border, countless lawless individuals use the vicinity as a place to hide. Fights tend to break out frequently in the streets, and the surrounding areas are much more heavily populated by dangerous monsters than the inner territories.
The city was located a vast distance away from the main capital of the kingdom, which meant that any requested reinforcements wouldn't be sent here in time to help. After all, even if the capital did decide to send soldiers, the reason they were summoned would have already disappeared or been destroyed by the time they actually arrived.
