With the choice made, the Union's leaders set out to implement their decision. They chose to work with the Custodians and to take on the role of stewards of the Gates rather than mere conquerors. This decision marked a significant shift in their approach, leading to a period of intense negotiation and collaboration with the Custodians.
The Convergence of Worlds was a time of transformation. The Union and the Custodians worked together to restore balance to the network of realms. This involved repairing damage caused by the Union's previous actions, recalibrating the Gates, and addressing disruptions in the flow of magical and physical energies.
As part of this process, the Union established a new governance structure to oversee the management of the Gates. This structure included representatives from Terra Novum, the Custodians, and other realms affected by the network. The goal was to ensure that all parties had a voice in the management and protection of the Gates.
The Union also focused on integrating their technology with the magic of Terra Novum in a way that respected the balance of the realms. They worked to develop hybrid systems that could harness the power of the Crystals without disrupting the magical equilibrium. This required a deep understanding of both technology and magic, as well as a willingness to adapt and innovate.
During this period of cooperation, the Union learned valuable lessons about the interconnectedness of the realms and the importance of maintaining harmony. They developed new alliances and strengthened existing ones, forging a network of relationships that would help safeguard the future of the Gates.
