(Meanwhile, Planet Ixtal)
After Raymond's conquest of the Cult Lands, Ixtal, like many other planets caught in the wake of that campaign, had been left in complete ruin, its cities fractured, its infrastructure reduced to debris, and its people scattered between survival zones and the relative safety of the Time Stilled World.
As it was not until Leo ascended as the Cult Master that the true reconstruction of Ixtal began in earnest, as organized efforts replaced desperate patchwork repairs and long-term rebuilding plans were finally set into motion across the shattered planet.
Entire sectors that had previously stood as skeletal reminders of conflict were gradually brought back to life, rising beneath layers of scaffolding and controlled mana furnaces that worked day and night to reshape broken stone and twisted metal.
