With Gloria, Soran was even more powerful!
No one could ignore a powerful high-grade witch, let alone an influential member of the witch council, who owned territory of her own. Information about Gloria could hardly be concealed from others. After all, she had ruled a city in the north for nearly ten years. Gloria reached a high grade 10 years ago (above profession level 15), but had only recently become close to the realm of legend (above profession level 18).
A wizard's power grew slower at the end, but Soran was the odd one!
