Six months later.
The gates of the Stoneheart Temple groaned open, and from the darkness marched three thousand Stoneheart Giants. Each one was an Alpha-level combatant, massive and imposing.
The moment they emerged, they fell to their knees in a thunderous, synchronized wave of worship toward Orion.
To them, he was not just a leader; he was the Creator God.
"From this day forward, you are the guardians of this place," Orion commanded, his voice echoing through the sanctum.
These three thousand giants were purpose-built. The Stoneheart Temple was Ground Zero for the Stoneheart race, a repository of Orion's unique bloodline power.
In the future, any member of the Giant Tribe seeking to ascend and transform into a Stoneheart Giant would only need to walk through the temple's Mountain and Sea.
