Moros stole the Herrscher Core of Ice from Moth to Fire’s Tokyo research institute and brought it to Vill-V at their secret base. Moth to Fire traced the theft to the necromancer, and its intelligence began escalating the discovery through the organization.

• Keen told Moros that Moth to Fire had hidden the Herrscher Core of Ice in its Tokyo research institute, and Moros decided to retrieve it himself.

Meanwhile, the vampire community grew to more than a thousand members and began choosing leaders under Beatrice, remaining beneath the notice of both the elites and Moros.

• Construction drew resources and attention away from the conflict, and the planet entered a temporary peace as Moros researched Avatar of Death.
