Ever since Riekan was forcefully transported to the Rise to Prominence tournament, he thought his chances of seeing people he recognized was low.
After finally being able to fulfill his side of a promise with a friend that had already died centuries ago, the man decided to pay a visit to the clan he came from after being away from it for over 200 years.
Unsurprisingly, a lot about the clan had changed after his departure, with the clan now having a reputation on the continent that caused their presence and their words to have considerable sway amongst the general populace.
Not only that, but all of the people he knew from the clan in the past had now taken on high positions both in and out of the clan that basically allowed him to rule over a certain territory if he wanted to.
Then again, Riekan really didn't have any aspirations nor thoughts of making use of that.
