With the Southwestern Region cleaned of the Divine Order's presence entirely, one would expect several changes to take place.
However, for the most part, nothing much happened.
As months went by, the citizens slowly forgot about the events of the past and went back to their daily lives. Trade resumed in the region, and those from external forces finally found themselves able to enter the cardinal region again.
At first, they thought everything was the same, but there was a subtle difference.
The people…weren't they acting a little different?
They weren't as "kind" as before, but that wasn't a bad thing. In the past, the kindness most people received from the citizens unnerved them. It didn't seem natural, and the cult-like feeling that was ever present here made people want to leave as soon as possible.
