The Dark Faction had been under the rule of its new leader, the Dark Magus, for around a month or so now, and things weren't quite what others expected. Historically, when new leaders rose, they would often make significant changes to show their ambition and prove they were right for the role.
Either the leader would go on a voyage into the other factions and plan an attack to show their strength, or maybe there would be disruption in the Dark Faction over who was the leader, but none of that had occurred.
If anything, things felt the same, but it was an issue for most of the clans, not just in the Dark Faction but in all the other factions as well. It felt like the calm before the storm—that just one thing needed to occur, and that would be the catalyst to start it all.
