Tensions and factions were known to exist among half-step third-realms.

Ancient Tree World Lord was undeniably the most powerful half-step third-realm being in the dominion, with a reputation extending across neighboring dominions. North River Boat Master himself had shown humility before Ancient Tree World Lord.
