Bloodfall Base had now truly integrated into the southern region's network of bases.
It wasn't exactly bustling, but every now and then, people from other bases would come to visit.
Some came for business, while others were simply there to build connections.
Bloodfall held the food and weapons everyone needed, so it never hurt to be a familiar face. Besides, with Southreach's current situation up in the air, Bloodfall's resources were all the more valuable.
Of course, some people had other ideas.
But they were a small minority.
After all, you don't get to build a base without having some discernment.
Even Franklin Forrest of Stoneridge Base was playing by the rules and paying with Crystal Cores. If anyone else dared to try any underhanded tricks, they wouldn't just have to deal with Bloodfall—their old "neighbors" wouldn't let them get away with it either.
The bellwether effect was real.
