After the tribute to the Undergod Monastery, Leon and several others were admitted onto the monastery's ship, from which they were ferried through the waterfall and taken directly to the monastery above.
This in itself was massive news to all who witnessed it. The Undergod Monastery had admitted warlocks who waved the banners of the Bloodclans of the Sacred Lands. It was a clear indication of an alliance between both forces.
This was big.
News soon began to spread far and wide into every nook and cranny of the Undergod territory, particularly to the mage powers who had submitted to Celestial Palace rule. This information concerned them more than anything.
The monks of the Undergod Monastery were very prideful. For them to seek an alliance with the Sacred Land... they had probably noticed a massive threat.
And what bigger threat could there be to the Undergod Monastery than the Celestial Palace's ambitions?
