Vicente and his group had made good progress on their journey north, having successfully overcome the creatures and challenges along their path.
The effects of The Seven-Day Tsunami had completely vanished, and with many beings on the continent fearing The Purification, the route through the Polaris Realm was now exceptionally clear.
