Past the cliffs of Gakaiyo and upon the waves return the ships which had once set off to Sheng, carrying the Shogun and her small traveling party. Though, ships that once carried few now were bustling with soldiers and supplies. Ship which boasts the a phoenix upon its figurehead hosts three well decorated generals of Sheng and sailing alongside them, their battalions.
The generals and their many soldiers find home within Xuefeng in the approaching invasion, well dressed and prepared for war, Sheng arrives to show their support. Yet, it is not Sheng which comes alone.

Its screech is heard through the streets of the Empire as a phoenix of black feathers and even darker flame circles above the ship which hosts the Shogun and her traveling party. The song it sings is accompaniment of flute, played by Heavenly General who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with all the others. It comes to perch upon wooden railing, staying near the song and answering its call.
The symbol of the Empire and its great weapon has been retrieved, but another force added to the forces which look to oppose the Fel.

Within Meranthe, another force grows, it awakens. A monster ascends to call themselves Lord. An ally to the Empire, Efespane leads the forces of Meranthe's magical beasts to defend the northern front against the invading forces of Atrellya alongside Dunsman S. Virdi and their coalition.
As the Hollow World opens upon the peaks of Pavonis, the prisoners summoned by Lord Shiva are returned to the chains of Ualdir and the sentencing of the Pantheon. Their radiance smiles upon their followers, their blessing carried with the forces of Aegis.
With all of the coming forces, the Ruby Empire builds defenses of their own. Materials are gathered through the years with the people of Xuefeng clearing the nearby mines and the Aegis hauling wood from nearby forests. Warcamps are abuzz with work as well as news as more and more forces pile in. At the docks, shipbuilders prepare more sea worthy vessels, made to house the newly arrived soldiers and defend the cliffs of the Empire.
Within the Shogun's own abode diplomats from many nations come and go, including those of the Republic. But nearly all are turned away. All except for one Miriam Equisol, who finds herself invited personally. The two are seen shaking hands and coming to an agreement. And soon after, a small force from Gloomlight arrives. Sent by none other than the Oracle, Thomas Equisol. A gift from family.
