The Frey Clan had always been prosperous but ever since the establishment of their Founder's Inheritance just 300 years ago, there had been an explosion in the economy and in cultivation!
The Founder had entered closed door seclusion for the final stretch of reaching the peak of the Shard Tier but many noticed the recent changes. The once thriving traffic had been slowed down.
Freely open roads had become guarded and a large area that was vacant to the north had begun to be cordoned off by the emerald cloaks. He had to be close!
The city was rife with rumors but all seemed excited. The Founder was going to become a Crystal Tier! No one knew what that would be like save a few survivors from the powers that endured the Cataclysm.
Even then, all they had were records as most Immortals had died or never seen it themselves in their lifetime.
It was that rare of an event before the Cataclysm.
