Young people from Winter who were working across the world gradually gathered information and realized what was happening back in their homeland.
Although some were still waiting for work transitions or salary payments and hadn't yet departed... their hearts had already returned to the Duchy of Winter alongside their fellow countrymen.
With this influx of labor, the reconstruction efforts in the Duchy of Winter after the thaw of spring were in full swing.
Farms, forests, hunting grounds, mines—once the endless blizzards cleared, the land seemed abundant with wealth, brimming with opportunities.
The decades-long winter hadn't frozen these resources into desolation… after all, it wasn't a true eternal winter, but the breath of the Mother of a Thousand Dragons.
