Chapter 119: Warming Cabinet (3)
The Three Northern Kingdoms
The Three Northern Kingdoms were nations where large portions of their lands were permanently frozen, making winter eternal.
Because of this harsh cold, the most dominant religion in the north was the Cult of the Hearth.
People naturally gathered indoors to escape the cold, and the fire that provided warmth became the most sacred element of their faith.
For the northerners, who had depended on fire for survival since ancient times, the hearth was more than just a religious symbol—it was the very center of life.
So, it was only natural that the Empire’s theater productions gained immense popularity in the north.

Then, when the fantastical inventions from the play became reality, the reaction was explosive.
