The Copper Gorge Extinction Domain and the outside world are separate entities, completely isolated from each other. Owen Bertram's coronation in the Extinction domain went unnoticed by the outside world. The Summit Metropolitan Office, the Spirit Medicine Market continued to function as usual. But Ilda, who was in the midst of 'preaching' in a small village, suddenly looked up towards Copper Gorge.
The 'miracle' she was performing abruptly shattered, and the villagers looked around in confusion, only to find that the woman they had revered as a god had vanished!
Lately, Ilda had noticed her power waning rapidly. Without a temple of her deity, she could not replenish her divine power. The humble 'temples' newly built in the surrounding villages were incapable of garnering her god's attention.
