The month between the participant war and the assault on the Doom Monarch was the busiest the alliance had ever known.
The first thing Almond did was give the native kingdoms back their power.
It was a calculated gift, and it was also the right one. Suryax-Regalon held all five Tier-100 weapon systems, but three of them had been built from blueprints that belonged, by resonance, to Virexion, Thalmyr, and Celestara. So Almond returned them. Not the blueprints, which stayed in his vault, but the developed systems, tuned and complete, handed to the native kingdoms that could run them at full output through their own Genelines.
