The sophistication of the Kingdom of Sorcerers

"Do you know about the organization that was established by the Central Plains Rider?" Ren Xiaosu asked Melgor. "Since they helped the Magi survive The Cataclysm, their reputation should be as prominent as Russell's after the disaster passed. At the minimum, everyone should know of their existence, but I've never heard you mention them before."

When Melgor heard that, he pondered it for a moment before saying, "I had the same questions as you when I first read The Sorcerer Chronicles, but please believe me when I tell you I've really never heard of them before."

"How can that be?" Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled.

"Perhaps they did not follow the orders of that Central Plains rider?" Melgor analyzed.

"That can't be." Ren Xiaosu had met the Riders before. How could such a cohesive group with strong faith suddenly turn against each other?

"Or they could have all perished in The Cataclysm?" Melgor raised another possibility.
