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.
