Though many, if not all of the players gathered on the battlefield, disliked the fact that one player monopolized several of the notable achievements available to the community, Soulless was the only reason they could muster enough confidence to participate in this conflict.
The security provided by Umbra's reputation and its standing within the hierarchy of guilds was enough to convince thousands of players to pressure Kieran and his small party.
