Well, twice, technically. First one is, uh. Stupid, though. I grew up with a Shard, so got dissipated when I was still a stupid, overconfident kid.
[ There’s a bit of a sheepish laugh and embarrassment, so it seems to be genuine! It cools off quickly, though, and there’s a bit of a pause before he answers. ]
You know it best now that Alenroux is dangerous, but it’s important. Without it, my people don’t get to eat. So, it’s not ideal. Every once in a while, a new island drifts close enough to Springstar that we can go check it out, essentially, and last time one came by, it seemed like it’d be a good candidate for safer farmlands. Maybe even a place that people could go live, since not everyone likes the city life.
The way these new islands kind of… work is that the first person to establish a Cornerstone essentially claims that island for Meridian or Zenith, just in terms of how it effects your Shard. Discord and that kind of stuff, so it’s important. I wasn’t the Tribune yet, but a few of us went over there to check it out and establish it.
[ He pauses again, and there’s a pang of bitterness, however brief before he laughs it off. ]
Got betrayed, in short. A friend of mine had switched over to Zenith, so we fought. I lost.
