The steel territory hummed with a different kind of energy. The external threats – demons, opportunistic neighbors, abyssal invaders – still raged beyond the shimmering barrier, but inside, Alaric Steele was shifting focus. The trades facilitated by his revolutionary artifacts had irrevocably altered the power dynamics across the fractured remnants of Eloriath and its bordering kingdoms.
Jorailian legions in the east, armed with Steele Family 'Sanctuary Shields' that repelled demonic energy and 'Infernal Disruption Arrays' that countered demonic spellcasting, were pushing deeper into formerly demon-held territories, securing towns and clearing routes with unprecedented efficiency. King Rouben Yachvili lauded the 'gifts of the wise Lord Steele' to anyone who would listen, cementing Jorailia's position as a rising power.
