Once the mood settled, they did an actual count of the survivors. In addition to the official Myrtharian Nerds, a number of natives who had joined them had either managed to flee, or had simply not been targeted by Lost Divinities and their allies during their big clean-up operation.
Vincent had managed to save his two "wives" and their Water Elf people, a few dozen of Drastan's obedient Trolls had survived by virtue of their extraordinary regenerative abilities, as had most of the underlings of the remaining Laudarkvik factions. Jeanie, the tiny Minmin, had also survived by hiding in Aisling's breastplate.
On the other hand, the losses suffered by the natives also had far more lasting consequences. The army of knights and Dragonids recruited by Lucia had been all but wiped out, as had most of the beasts recruited by Mufasa and Shere Khan. Kenway's brother Lysander was dead but luckily for him he had already received his own Oracle Device, making him a Player like them.
What is said in this chapter is important for future Ordeals, since from the Fifth Ordeal players from the Mirror Universe will face those from another Mirror Universe. In the end, the Oracle Ranks correspond to military ranks and that is normal. They are supposed to be an army.
