War changed most of the terrain in the Luminous Continent in the past timeline. Due to the monster invasion and the cult themselves bringing ruin to almost everywhere they land, the chaos is widespread and has made most of the places in many areas ruined, destroyed, and cannot be rebuilt again, or totally inhabitable by anything beyond the things that have occupied the land itself and unless it was cleansed, it will remain as a stain.
Thankfully, due to my preemptive actions and killing the Tormentor much earlier than expected, the damage is minimal enough. It might be a small gesture but it was enough for the faction I will be joining. Due to the war against the monsters, they suffered a lot and have lost resources, have very low morale, and against enemies who are almost impossible to beat, they are at a total disadvantage.
