Perhaps the Overlord Empire hasn't noticed, but on the Northern Continent, other forces, including several Imperial powers and the noble principalities and kingdoms of the southern continent, have begun to spot signs of this trend.
The territories of these nobility are gradually becoming dumping grounds for the products and processed goods of the Golden Empire. Under some economic policies of that vile Giant Dragon, Steel Dragon Midir, they are mobilizing the vast economic system of the entire Empire, turning other noble territories into fields ripe for the Golden Empire's harvest.
The advanced productivity of the Golden Empire is sufficient to produce a large quantity of cheap goods, crowding out the markets within these noble territories.
This includes weapons, armaments, armor, arcane materials, magic items, cheap scrolls, clothing, and even ordinary household items.
