In the wake of Erias’ triumph, a new agethe Age of Renewal
With the balance restored, civilization flourished once more. The cities that had been on the brink of collapse rose again, stronger and wiser from their near destruction. Nations that had once warred against one another forged new alliances, bound by the shared terror of almost ceasing to exist.
