East and South Panama performed noticeably better than West and North Panama.
When one compared the expansion rate of the beast tides, there was a very clear pattern that East and South Panama retained their territory and prevented it from falling to the hands of the Beast incursion better than the other half of the continent.
The reason for this was very clear.
The surplus of Martial Artists caused by the breakthrough spree of the Dawnbringer allowed nations to hold onto their territory and protect their people better than ever before. The same was even more true for his Hellbringer model, which increased the effectiveness of each Martial Master and Sage against beasts and monsters tremendously.
