Understanding their political structure, trade dealings, and cultural values would give her a strong foundation before moving on to the more distant kingdoms.

The past decade had been difficult, but it had also been rewarding in terms of knowledge.

She simply needed a refresher, a quick review to ensure she still remembered all the key details.

The first kingdom she focused on was Haran, their closest neighbor to the east.

Haran wasn’t particularly rich in mineral resources, but they had something just as valuable, a powerful military.
