Within two days of arriving in Tarlonnd, Cassandra had learned as much as she could about this mysterious land that had just endured a devastating war. For a million long years, this ancient kingdom had kept its gates closed. Surrounded by the endless icy ocean and covered by the continental shield, Tarlonnd had remained veiled like a mysterious otherworld. Even the equally ancient sirens had never glimpsed this land's true face. As a Deep Sea Witch who presided over knowledge, Cassandra was naturally full of curiosity about everything on this continent.
Unfortunately, this land's former splendor had already vanished into history. Miracles built over a million years had been destroyed within days. All that remained were scarred lands and city ruins scattered across the continent. Cassandra could only slowly reconstruct and guess at what this place had once looked like through the survivors' accounts, the collapsed wreckage of those enormous facilities, and the few blurry image records that had survived by chance.
Meanwhile, Melita had spent this time constantly asking the siren and the nagas about recent changes in the human world. After losing the Omega System, Tarlonnd's once-proud advanced communications network had completely shut down. Melita had not heard news from the Loren Continent for a long time.
At the same time, news that "an exploration team from the human Cecil Empire had unexpectedly arrived in Tarlonnd" quickly traveled from the coastal camp to Agondor Camp, currently serving as the dragons' temporary "capital." Only then did the dragons learn of the state of the human world and of the "international conference" soon to be held on the northeastern border of the Gondor Wasteland.
