A year passed since the Realm of Trials had closed, and any event remotely as big as that wouldn't take place for another 2 years.
The Endless Shadow Abyss opened every year, but no one truly considered it to be something to look forward to as one did the Golden Auction or the Realm of Trials.
The one taking place in 3 years was the Cave of Frost's opening to the public, but that was still undecided as even after a year and a half, the barrier around the Ivory Kingdom hadn't disappeared.
So, the next big thing to look forward to was the opening of the Transcendent Martial Ground, which was another 6 years later. Without the Cave of Frost, one would consider that there might be a lack of events to bring some excitement to everyone's heart, but something had come that had brought quite a bit of excitement.
The players were returning home.
