That is certainly news to me. The two short stints I spent there was pure monster/undead-fighting. Seems I have been mistaken. I'll probably put a char there then whenever I can.
Of course you take a small break during invasions, though even there there are realms that align with the baddies. And then a brief rebuilding reffort, but after that it's full on fighting 'till the next invasion interrupts it.
There never was a "continental peace" problem on BT like we've seen on the other continents.
