Demeterra Descended on Day 65 of the war.
The kingdom's advance forces — the forward scouts of Boreth's southern column, positioned six kilometers north of the Root Cradle's boundary — felt it before they saw it. The air changed. The temperature shifted. The ground beneath their boots trembled with a vibration that was not seismic but biological — the sensation of something growing at a rate that the earth's surface could not contain.
Then the green wall rose.
The Root Cradles erupted instantly, without the gradual unfolding that normal plant growth suggested. Vegetation burst from the soil in a wave that expanded outward from a central point — Demeterra's manifestation location, the First Furrow, the barley field where she had been born — and the wave carried with it the concentrated output of a goddess who was spending her existence on one last act of creation.
