The small city within the place perpetually hidden from the sun was currently in a panic.
The residents who awakened from the effects of the staff within the City Chief's hands were extremely angry when they found out that their loved ones died, what was worse was that the City Chief didn't have any intention of explaining!
However, the riot was easily suppressed by the City Chief who used the staff once again and subdued everyone to obedience.
But the First Elder and Second Elder knew that this was just treating the symptoms.
A mere stopgap that will eventually collapse under the tumultuous momentum of the residents' grievances. Furthermore, the effects of the Staff of Obedience doesn't really last that long.
In fact, it would only last for a few hours at most before it must be reapplied once again.
