"...However, the Demon mother had not attacked the Holy city when the seer was away but had sponsored the rebellion of the magicians who failed as a result of Thalus of the Broken Eye, one of the Ten Fingers of solitude."
Hearing the Ten Fingers of solitude, Chiron's eyes even went brighter. After all, he could remember these guys in the book. They had been the forerunners of a great war in the past.
A war that had led to the formation of the Round Table in the first place, and also the reason why the Holy Church, The Zodiac families and The Demons had taken full control of the beyond the veil. And the other powers of the world had no choice but to remain below the veil where energy is not so pure and satisfying.
According to Chiron's memory of the storyline, at this time, there was still peace and the Mc had only just began his travels around the world after his clan was destroyed by the Dagger Clan.
