The monumental shift in the Trade Wind Ring that afternoon sent shockwaves through the Green Tower.
Yet, a shift isn't necessarily a good thing—
The Druids' council was on edge almost overnight, and dark undercurrents began to stir within this small town. That night, the mysterious guests from the Cruz Empire Envoy separately visited the inn where the Erune and Flame Temple personnel stayed—while privately, rumors without basis began to spread everywhere.
One rumor suggested that the large-scale magic reaction occurred last year in Chablis should at least be a sign of the awakening of a Holy Sword once mentioned in myths, some claimed it was Eck's Lion Heart Sword, and the spreaders asserted that Erueins had already mastered how to enter the Trade Wind Ring to seize the Holy Sword.
Yet, other rumors hinted the secret was held by a young Eruein, who had a severe conflict with the Cruz Empire that afternoon and was later rescued by the Druids.
