The Land of the Naked Amazons

Aldaria was a picturesque country located in the southwest of the Antal continent. It was a land with a very warm, comfortable climate and fertile soil. But it was not the beautiful landscapes and rich harvests that made it famous, but the fact that Aldaria was the Land of the Amazons.

On the streets of its towns and villages one could see naked girls with weapons. Some of them were in a hurry on business, others were training, others were resting, and none of the other residents was surprised by the girls' nakedness. On the contrary, they admired and treated them with great respect - after all, the Amazons were the most respected, the highest class of Aldaria.



 

All other countries of Antal were patriarchal, where women were given a secondary role in society. They had to dress modestly, run a household, obey men in everything. 

Aldaria menaced "the established order of things". The fact that girls could be at the very top of the social ladder and, moreover, walk the streets naked, having lost all shame, was unheard of audacity. They set a bad example for the obedient women of other countries. It got to the point that hundreds, if not thousands, of girls fled from their families to Aldaria, fleeing domestic violence, and became Amazons.

For this reason, the kings of the neighboring countries were unanimous: the Land of the Amazons must be destroyed. But it wasn't easy to do so. Each time they tried, naked warriors stood in the way of the conquerors and rebuffed them.



How could naked Amazons defeat seasoned warriors in armor?  

Firstly, all the Amazons were masters of weapons - much better than their enemies. They were trained for a long time under the guidance of the best instructors. As a result, the girls could successfully dodge attacks and accurately strike at the joints of the armor or the visors.

 

Secondly, bareness allowed the girls to move quickly, and this, together with the warrior girls' cunning, brought many unpleasant surprises to their rivals. It would seem that the Amazon has been caught, the warrior's axe is swung up to strike - and suddenly the men's neck is jabbed with the girl's dagger!



Thirdly, the Amazon warriors were fearless. They were trained to endure pain and not be afraid of death. Therefore, the girls went to the fight calm, sometimes even smiling. Their minds were clear and they made fewer mistakes in battle. And if the enemy managed to injure an Amazon, she, overcoming the pain, continued to fight. Even a speared girl could strike a soldier who thought he had won.



If all the countries of Antal had united against the Amazons, the days of the warriors would have been numbered. But the queens of Aldaria were wise politicians and actively developed economic ties with neighboring countries. While hating the Land of the Amazons, the kings at the same time benefited greatly from trade with it. The threat of losing their profits made them refrain from entering into military alliances against Aldaria, and the Amazons managed to win wars with small alliances and with individual countries.

That is why for five centuries the Land of the Amazons remained unconquered and prosperous.
