23rd September 303 Paign Era.
In the past few months, Bideford experienced an unprecedented surge in its population density.
The city became even more crowded as the flood of refugees sought safety from the war.
The avenues and squares were filled to the brim with people who had fled the ravages of conflict.
However, as peace slowly settled upon the kingdom, a gradual transformation began to unfold. The refugees, relieved by the end of hostilities, started to return to their original dwellings.
While some chose to remain in Bideford, finding a sense of belonging and a fresh start, many opted to journey back to the regions where they were born and had grown up.

This alignment of circumstances spared Riz and his administration from additional complications.
