The Befallen Crown set goals for the future. They strove to develop even though the World Wipe inevitably occurred once every 250 years.
They used their resources as well as their Lords to help minimize the damage from the World Wipe as much as possible.
Monsters did not have as many cities and structures as humans, but they had significantly more Second Circle warriors in their ranks.
Each Lord could use their power to create a barrier and protect a certain territory from the World Wipe. Sure, it would be a small territory, since a Lord would have to withstand not just a regular shockwave from an explosion but the World Wipe itself, but it was still possible.
Thus, the more Lords the Befallen Crown had, the more territories they could preserve even between World Wipes.
