People spoke excitedly in marketplaces, taverns, workshops, and public squares, claiming that they had witnessed the earth moving and reshaping into an entirely new city beyond the capital's borders.

Hills that had stood for generations appeared to have vanished, while entire stretches of uneven terrain had somehow disappeared. The strange phenomenon had been impossible to ignore from afar, and countless people had watched it unfold with their own eyes.
