Following the Great Shift in governance, the Nine Realms erupted with activity. New factions emerged overnight, and a restructured hierarchy replaced the old order.
Loyalties were paid off as families that had once backed the sworn wizards promptly rose to power, while those who stood by Jason Mama's cause faced downfall.
In moments, entire fortunes disappeared, forcing certain households into hiding. One such family, the Grimmgolds, vanished into the shadows of the 5th realm, determined to protect their legacy from the vengeance of the new rulers. Another, the Harrowsworths, scattered across distant deserts, hoping to remain unrecognized until calmer times.
Meanwhile, ambitious entrepreneurs formed alliances under a shared banner: the Sworn Wizards. Their aim was to seize control of vital resources and build an underground network of trade unseen in prior eras.
