August was now out in the wider world, but while he did have a decent amount of general knowledge from Damien's teaching, he was still relatively clueless about the more nuanced happenings and relationships between forces.
There was a lot going on in Arulion. It was a massive kingdom, after all. It was hard to notice its scale when discussing it since a majority of its land was filled with similar people doing similar things, but it wasn't the same everywhere.
Take the Aureat Clan of Golden Dragons as an example.
The original Golden Dragon was quite the promiscuous fellow, so it wasn't rare for there to be several Golden Dragon lineages throughout the world.
Every once in a while, people from these lineages would appear in Arulion, and the Aureat Clan accepted them in stride.
