The dragon attack incident caused great upheaval not just in the Hlakaschken Trade Empire, as one would expect, but also in the international media. The flagrant violations of several treaties of peace, local law, and blatant disregard for the Hlakaschken Trade Empire as a neutral peace haven caused widespread criticism to be levied against the Ryu Clan, which was responsible for the attack.
The Hlakaschken Trade Empire immediately mobilized a large number of resources and manpower to mitigate the damage from the battle and to sort through all the damage and rubble in the market. The market became a closed-off zone as a division of investigators was dedicated to figuring out exactly what had happened, even if it was obvious in the eyes of the angered citizens.
