The Marshlands of Hell became the site of the largest battle in recent history. Two hundred thousand awakeners fought in this war between Dragonir and Ascent. The casualties reached five thousand on both sides before it ended.
Almost every guild, noble, and ruler released a statement calling for a ceasefire. The level of destruction rendered a strip of the continent uninhabitable. Although Ascent was criminalized in almost every major nation, they had to implore it to take a step back from this war.
Inside the Runic Dome near Mountain Range Rovero, the atmosphere was bleak. The guild masters sat in the hall, frustrated by their inability to join their members in battle. Most of them felt that they had failed their subordinates, and everyone wanted to seek out Julia to change her mind.
