Sub Epilogues

9- 1<Agreement>
Thanks to your suggestion, Tomant and Silocient Forest settled their differences and reached an agreement.
Tomant borrowed the power of the jewel at the time when farmers were busy.
When the weather got colder in the fall, they returned it to the druids of Silocient Forest.
Both parties continued to live a peaceful life.
9- 2<An Example>
Amakar had no intention of leaving the prisoners of war.
He executed the druids in the town square and hung their bodies outside the city walls.
It was a bloody warning to the survivers.
After the execution, strange rumors began to spread in Tomant.
It is said that the villagers hear murmurs at nights, in an unknown language, and the guards have frequent nightmares or hallucinations.
9- 3<The Final Chapter of the War>
|drawing_warDestruction|
The war between the army of Toment and the druids ended in two months.
The druids did not survive, but they managed to shatter the Jewel of Life to pieces. The army of Toment failed to achieve their goal either.
Alas, having lost the Jewel of Life, the city of Toment slowly started to go down a path of ruin.
9- 4<The Treasure of Toment>
The war between the army of Toment and the druids resulted in the victory of the army.
With the Jewel of Life back in his hands, Amakar rebuilt the city with the jewel’s powers.
|drawing_tomuntTreasure|
A memorial museum was constructed to commemorate the victory, and the tourists learned where the Jewel of Life truly belongs to, visiting the museum.
9- 5<The Last Druid>
Syannathel, the only surviving druid, lived as a hermit in a rugged mountain.
After you ran into her, she enhanced the barrier surrounding the hut, allowing no one to approach.
She spent the rest of her life growing herbs alone.
9- 6<Resurrected Silocient Forest>
After a bloody conflict between Toment and the druids, the Jewel of Life once again belonged to the druids.
Armies from Toment invaded again and again a few more times, but every time, the druids successfully drove them back with meticulous tactics.
Time passed, and Silocient Forest finally returned to its prime state.
The druids still live there even to this day, guarding the forest.
9- 7<In Search of a New Home>

The druids’ plan to settle down in another forest ended in failure.
The brutal dire troll has destroyed their barrier that protected their settlement.
Alas, the remaining druids had no option but to wander away again, in search of another forest to settle down.
9- 8<The New Home of the Druids>
After finally settling down in ‘Trollium’, the druids grew even more isolated from civilization, severing any and all connection to the outside world.
They did their best to protect the forest, even going so far to cooperate with the trolls to keep outsiders out.
They even taught their newborns that they are never to leave the forest, that outsiders can never be trusted.
9- 9<The Traitor and the Hero>
Alas, the druids successfully took the life of the traitor.
They were happy to finally get their revenge.
Amakar’s funeral was held at Toment, with a huge crowd coming to pay their respects.
Amakar’s name was praised as the city’s hero, and as his wife, Selis, started to wail, so did the citizens of Toment.
9-10<Scattered Away>
The druid invasion of Toment, led by Syannathel, turned the city upside down.
Amakar was killed in the attack.
This made the citizens of Toment homeless refugees, sending them to other cities for their survival.
But the druids failed to get their hands on the Jewel of Life, forcing them to relocate, in search of a new forest.
9-11<Used to Be My Place>
After returning to Tomant with his troops, Lophenbach rebelled on the pretext that Amakar had started a meaningless war.
His aim is to oust Amakar from power and regain his status.
9-12<Lose&Lose>
The war between Tomant and Silocient Forest ended without a winner.
The druids failed to win their jewel back.
Tomant lost Amakar, so they couldn’t use the jewel, even though they kept it.
In the end, both sides didn’t benefit from the battle.
9-13<Gone with the Gem>
The surviving druids managed to flee with the jewel.
They ran away far east to find a new home.
However, Amakar had no intention of giving up.
He constantly sent his men out to track the druids.
9-14<The Widow of Tomant>
Selis, the daughter of Lord Tomant, inherited her father’s dominion and managed it, after losing her husband.
She had fairly good administrative capacity, and knew how to take care for the villagers.
However, lacking the power of the jewel, Tomant gradually went downhill.
9-15<An Empty Hut>
The hut where Syannathel, the last druid once lived, became a deserted ruin.
Only the herbs she had cultivated grew luxuriantly.
With her death, there was no druid of Silocient Forest left on earth.
9-16<Into Soil>
|drawing_stoneTomb|
On a nameless hill near Tomant, there is a stone tomb you and the druid boy built.
The rough, though carefully built tomb remained there until the bodies of the druids turned into soil.
