Lootwell moved before the world finished arguing.
The West remained mostly quiet.
There were still the five suspicious bearers left in the West. Lucien looked at their markers once, then left them alone first.
The other four continents mattered more for now.
Fragments there were moving.
Keepers were moving.
Lootwell moved faster.
"Deploy."
The order left the shrine and became motion.
Instant Teleportation Arrays opened in branch halls.
Shadow routes unfolded beneath ordinary roads..
Across the five continents, Lootwell's allies began answering one by one.
Dawnbinder decided to help.
Solar Concordium followed.
The Lunareth Sect did too.
The Lunarians sent their people.
The Celestials sent Eternal teams.
The Obsidian Collegium sent strong experts
The Silent Monastery sent witnesses.
And many more major factions helped.
Many factions had once wondered whether Lootwell had too many allies.
That day, the world learned the answer.
No.
