The Martial Unity

Rui truly felt the size of the town when he walked across from the outskirts from where his inn was towards the center.

('It's even bigger than the town of Hajin, what the heck?')

It was an extremely wide expanse that made use of the fact that the Seonmun Region was a rather empty region with a lot of space for grabs.

Rui found it curious that the Virodhabhasa Faith decided to open up such an extravagant town in such a remote location. Yet he could understand the rationales for doing so.

For one, building a town like this was easier in more remote regions as opposed to more populated regions.

For example, they would face far more difficulty in trying to accomplish such a thing in the Kaddar Region which was already jam-packed with nations, and also had to deal with a floating island that was in political conflict with the entire region.

Furthermore, there were two ways to interact with outsiders as a religion. Either go to them or get them to come to you.

The Seonmun Church town was probably an attempt at the latter. It was easier to attract Martial Artists with such large concentrations of the Faith's resources, allowing for facilities useful to Martial Artists that could only be found in places like that.

It made it easier to accumulate fame and reputation, which ultimately helped in dragging in nomadic or traveling Martial Artists.

After all, due to a lack of a powerful information network like the internet, word of mouth or more indirect manners information communication was the way in which they could spread information. It meant that the town needed to gather enough of a reputation before it could attract traveling Martial Artists.

That was why such a costly endeavor was needed.
