Did Ves take part in a grand moment of history or a short-lasting farce?
It remained to be seen whether Emperor Rion Aaden and his loyal following would be able to pull off a dwarven exodus.
The Big Two certainly wouldn't approve of any ethnic group cutting away from human civilization. Even if the dwarven people possessed legitimate grievances about the way they were treated, the precedent of their departure would spur on the departures of many other dissatisfied groups.
Part of the reason why human civilization was so powerful at the moment was because humanity did not fundamentally compete against itself.
That would doubtlessly change once different groups split away from the current consensus and founded their own sovereign star nations.
The collective power of humankind as a whole would become a lot weaker once these independent human nations fought against each other, which would surely happen.
