360. A Betrayal? 

Sylvester's last words sent a chill down the collective spine. Masan empire, albeit followed by Solis, was slightly different as their way of practising was slightly different, which was at odds with the ways of the eastern portion of the Sol continent where the Holy Land lay enshrined. 

Such differences bred disdain in the hearts of the Masan rulers, who would spare no effort in their quest for conquest, even if it meant turning against the very fabric of the continent. The inevitable target, of course, would be the Church, which they sought to subjugate and reshape to their own designs. Yet the Holy Land remained passive, resigned to its fate, for the sheer magnitude of the Masan behemoth made any form of resistance seem foolhardy and futile.
