Once the Moonstone was fully harvested by the High Luminary of Aurora's Domain, the Sunfire Savannah, once a vibrant and life-filled landscape, began its slow descent into desolation. What had been a thriving place now became known as "The Expanse"—a vast, barren wasteland.
Over time, the land’s decay spread, turning the once fertile region into an ever-expanding desert. This process became known as "The Desertification." The winds that once carried the warmth of life now swept through the land, carrying only dust and the echoes of a lost vitality. The land seemed to be drained of its very essence, as if all life had been sucked from it, leaving only the parched earth in its wake.
The devastation was deeply felt by the humans and dwarves who had lived there for generations. Enraged by the High Luminary’s callousness in leaving the land in such a state, they saw the land not just as territory but as part of their heritage, their home. It felt like a betrayal of everything they had worked to build and sustain.
Even among the Green and Blue Luminary there was growing dissent against the actions of the High Luminary. They viewed the High Luminary’s actions as shortsighted and disrespectful to nature. The consequences were severe. What had once been a fragile peace now fractured under the weight of resentment.
500 BTC | The Crater Conflict which had placed the High Luminary at the forefront of all future disputes, now served as a stark reminder of the cost of such unchecked power. While the High Luminary’s influence grew, it did so on the backs of broken alliances and mistrust. The desert, which had once been a symbol of mystery and beauty, had become a scar upon the land, and its expanding reach mirrored the spreading hostility that now tainted relationships across Ignisar.
