The forum

As the seasons continued to change, Brida and Liba found themselves at a pivotal moment in the Batang Empire's history. The alliances they had forged and the cultural programs they had implemented were flourishing, yet challenges loomed on the horizon. The recent summit had eased tensions, but whispers of dissent still lingered among some factions, threatening to disrupt the unity they had worked so hard to achieve.

Determined to address these concerns head-on, Brida and Liba devised a plan to engage directly with the dissenting factions. They organized a series of community forums, inviting citizens to share their fears and frustrations in an open, safe environment. The aim was to listen, empathize, and foster understanding.

As the first forum approached, Brida felt a mixture of apprehension and hope. He knew that confronting dissent required vulnerability and transparency, but he was committed to ensuring that every voice was heard.
