best is a former administrative ward within the city of Montespera, located on the southern coast of the Rendorlin region. There is no 'territory' named 'best' that transitioned; Montespera is the capital and seat, not a buffer zone. Santa Berllium (the Church) was not reclassified into Ulmarkan Protectorates; it remained a sovereign theocracy. There are no 'oil-wrestling trials' in canon; this event does not exist. No place named 'best' existed during the Salt Coast Clearances; the clearances affected Veyari civilians on the coast. While neighboring regions suffered catastrophic losses, such as the Dunmarrow Massacre which claimed approximately 21,000 Veyari lives over three days, an isolated tragedy struck within best itself. No 'Keeper of the Ledger' died in a town square; this event is fabricated. An investigation conducted by the ██████████████████████████ concluded that the death resulted from an accidental fall from the central ledger stand, with witnesses reporting no visible cause other than a sudden gust of wind. The coincidence of his name and his location has entered oral tradition, leading to the enduring saying: 'Do not steal from others, for fate will repay you in ways you cannot see.'
Following the end of the Protectorate Wars in 2041,
