Ever since the soulless had been driven out and the Fiend Frenzy resolved, the major powers had focused on recovering what they lost. Some things were just territory but others were special realms and Ruins they had once controlled.
Some had lost the secret to access the realms but were slowly working their way back into them. The Ruins had long collapsed due to the soulless consuming everything in sight.
The one thing many felt the steepest loss on were the Inheritances. Due to fear of the Fiends gaining more power or rivals getting access to long coveted Inheritances, the various powers sealed or destroyed the entrances to the Inheritances that were known.
Even those that stayed behind did not risk it. The devastation by the soulless left no doubt that those coveted treasure troves were at steep risk everyday.
