Under SFK occupation, '''Gandry''' suffered systematic destruction and subsequent agricultural collapse. The burning of the '''Grand Sanctum of Alessa''' erased swathes of religious and civic memory—including the scaffolding scholars once used to group saints in '''Triads of Stewardship'''—and fueled a refugee wave that reshaped settlement patterns for generations. '''Raven’s Nest''', for example, remembers its founding as a wartime refuge bound to the cult of '''Saint Nerva'''. Across seven grinding cycles, neither side achieved a decisive breakthrough.
