Four years passed and the Southern Continent had changed drastically. Where once there were factions dividing up land and resources to hoard for their own, now complex towers and formations were aligned along the coasts.
Bridges extended through once wild country to allow ease of movement for major resources. They connected massive ravines or over powerful rivers all over the land.
There was no unified power but there was a unified purpose. The experience of facing the Fiends had proven they had put too much hope in a single battle.
While effective at killing them, the rules had been shattered and a single battle was far more likely to go against them. Lind's weapons were simply too limited as well. They could kill Fiend's with ease yet broke down far too quickly.
They also required very high grade materials to withstand his Forging process. There was simply not enough of any of the materials to supply the weapons needed for their current foe.
