Upon Aditya's return from the Deep Sea Palace, a whirlwind of activities ensued. Everyone became immersed in their respective tasks, especially Aditya, whose plate was more than full. Just a week prior, he had seized control over three Western Empires and added a substantial tract of land from the Northwestern region to his domain. Claiming these new territories was not as simple as merely dispatching troops. Numerous rebel factions had arisen, their defiant cries echoing across the newly acquired lands. Silencing these revolts and reinstating peace was Aditya's foremost priority.
After an arduous struggle spanning over twenty-five days, every major and minor insurgent group was finally suppressed. With the extinguishing of the rebellion flames, the next phase of the mission was initiated: assimilating the freshly won territories into the established fabric of the Istarin Empire.
