Military action
The Mythan Empire and Order Unbroken fought back the invading forces, reclaiming the Central and Northern Provinces. The victory was in large part attributed to the Empire Rangers, who launched a series of ambushes against key Aberrant strongholds, shutting down production facilities and sealing the Source Tears through which their forces came.
With the Mythans finally beginning to resettle in territories they had lost, shock set in as they saw how vastly their homes had been transformed. Cities now sunk deep into the earth, where the invaders had created production facilities for new aberrations. Magic flooded provinces that had once lacked it and new forests spanned miles that had once been filled with villages.
