--- Edward Point of View ---
Being the commander of the resistance is a hard task, many saw Edward as the light on the end of the tunnel and they were not wrong. If the resistance manages to defeat the Blood Temple, then he will be remembered as a Great Hero, just like Hulum Ying.
However, they were many problems with the resistance.
First, they were growing too fast, even more with all the destruction of Zelhart, soon this secret location will not be a secret anymore. Consequently, they were also running out of supplies to build the devices for each person that already joined the Blood Temple and wanted to leave; and of course, food.
Only the undead survive without food, and Edward's army was composed of living, some of them would become Abyss Creatures after death but still, they are living beings.
