After the Capital fell; first at the hands of the Dragons, then to the might of an unstoppable beast, the denizens fell into despair.
Humanity was reminded of its place—they were nothing but weak meat waiting to be harvested.
The destruction of the largest city in the Alliance caused many to lose hope. The failing economy was the least of their worries, as security and stability became what everyone desired.
Those who had some means desired to move South, while the impoverished majority had nowhere else to go… but they were bound to try anyway.
In this cesspool of horrors and uncertainty, a beacon of hope was necessary.
Which was why the Alliance finally made their move and announced the arrival of the Otherworlders.
They revealed how the Otherworlders were the ones who stopped the Dragons, and also that the strongest of them all had defeated the Divine Beast.
