Cycle: 598
Days became seasons and seasons turned into cycles. Some say the former Outliers who had become Investigators were killed on some important mission. Others say that they lost their purpose and wandered the land randomly, becoming lost and forgotten. Leutheo and Plumeir simply lost interest in adventuring and returned to mundane life. The days of adventure were forgotten as was the reputation of each man. Astarte returned to Refuge hoping to develop a relationship with her wayward daughter. She, too, became just another person in town. Taylar became angrier and angrier but could find no focus or direction for that anger. No one knows what became of him, but he never returned to The Kingdom of West Cove.
After another hundred cycles the kingdom had fully returned to the oppressive, theocratic dictatorship that it was becoming before the Outliers had interfered with that malevolence. The general populace believed that the Cathedral was an organization of Divine rule and that their edicts were necessary for the continuation of life. One hundred cycles of continuous propaganda can fully alter the collective ideology of a people. Societies are about control. The larger the society, the greater the need for absolute power.
