In the wake of their victory, the Coalition of the Free faced the challenge of transforming their defensive triumph at Cast into a sustained campaign against the Blackstone Empire. As the coalition's influence grew, so did the complexity of its mission. It was no longer just about survival; it was about sparking a wider rebellion and turning the tides against a formidable foe.
Whispering Wind, at the heart of this transformation, worked to galvanize the coalition's efforts. She understood that their victory at Cast had to be more than a symbol; it needed to become a catalyst for action. Meetings with leaders from various territories were held, not just to plan military strategies, but also to discuss governance, trade, and aid. The coalition was evolving into a unified entity with shared responsibilities and goals.
