It was actually the southern barriers, where the former Glass Palace had once held sway. Whether that fate or simply a strong coincidence, it was a lucky break.

Lind had, however, laced it with his harmony to help restore the lost vitality. Thus, the worst case was avoided.
In fact, the insects became fodder for the harmonic rich environment. Still, it was but the beginning, The sun had yet to even move far past midday with 3 more breaches occurring in far less ideal places.
It was still only the insects, yet it quickly became clear the swarms were like any other Fiend Art. Any living thing not protected by harmonic Qi, was left withered and drained.
