Millishion is located in the of central region of Millis Continent and is bordered by the Blue Dragon Mountain Range from the north and beyond is the Great Forest while making possible to get a full view of the city just by looking at it from the Holy Sword Highway. The Nikolaus River flows from Blue Dragon Mountain Range to the city that is the main source of water for the sparkling blue Grand Lake at the center of the city.

[1]
Background[]
On the final battle of the Laplace Wars, the final kingdom left behind in the human race is the Holy Country of Milis, who rallied its entire army to resist lead by the 7 heroes. But due to the beast races acting as a blockade in the Great Forest and ally of the demons, the 7 heroes convinced the beast race to ally with them instead by kidnapping their children and threaten them. After a short time, the 7 heroes led the Holy Knight Orders and the beast races to attack the Laplace army. After the fierce battle, 4 of the 7 heroes died, but the entire main Laplace army was completely routed, and successfully sealed the Demon-God Laplace. The only 3 survivors are, Dragon God Urupen, North God Kalman I, the Armored King Perugius Dola and are called the [The three heroes who vanquished the Demon God]. [2]
Laplace was defeated, but the human race was also exhausted and it was impossible to continue fighting therefore, a treaty was signed with the moderate faction's Demon King. The treaty removes the blockade from the Demon Continent thus allowing the demon races to travel freely to other continents and the discrimination towards the demon races are all banned.[2] Despite the treaty, the discrimination towards the demon races is still as deep as before especially between the Milis Religion's Demon Race Acceptance and Demon Race Expulsion factions who are in a bitter power struggle in Millishion to this day. [3]

[1] Since there is no Adventure Guild Headquarters in the Great Forest, non-human adventurers like the elves, hobbit, dwarves and beast race uses either Millishion or Zanto Port as their base or take requests on either places and because of this, adventurers in Millishion regardless of race are treated without bias. [6]
