Nearing the End

As this generation's opening of The Obsidian Shore entered its fifth year, the first people who had entered the place and managed to survive up to that point began to leave the area.

Each week, one group or another left the area while the groups waiting for their emissaries began to grow nervous.

It would be just over four years before the place returned to its unstable and inaccessible state. However, as time passed, the groups waiting for their subordinates or companions became concerned about their plans and the vital status of their personnel.

One of the interesting facts about this place was that even if an individual with people outside with devices connected to their vitality were to die, this information would not reach the people outside of it!

Only by the end of the time the place could remain stable could the groups be sure their messengers had died.
