In the aftermath of Aether's attacks, some regions begin forming regional alliances to enhance local autonomy and strengthen their defense capabilities. These alliances aim to share resources and expertise, ensuring they can respond quickly to future threats without over-reliance on Vigil's global infrastructure.
While Nyla supports these efforts as a natural extension of Vigil's decentralized model, Vidal warns that increased regionalism could fracture Vigil's unity. Neo-Digitalists, on the other hand, see the alliances as an opportunity to push for more integration between regions.
To balance these perspectives, Nyla and the Guardians propose a Cross-Alliance Framework, encouraging cooperation between alliances while maintaining Vigil's decentralized principles. The framework is met with cautious optimism, and Nyla hopes it will prevent divisions from growing deeper.
