Their past encounters with the Luminary and humans had taught them to be cautious, and they felt a deep, sacred responsibility to protect the Gemspires, which they now considered to be gifts bestowed upon them by something greater than even the idols.

The Dragonfolk were resolute in their belief that the Gemspires belonged to no one and should be protected, and they regarded any attempt by the Luminary to claim them as an affront.

The Luminary refused to back down, just as the Kaleidosian remained steadfast in their defense of the Gemspires. It was the beginning of a tense and difficult standoff, one that would shape the future of the Archipelago and deepen the divide between the Luminary and the other races.
