The battle against the Kryptis has ended, and while the wayfinder was fighting, the leaders of Tyria were quietly building what will become the Tyrian Alliance. The next step is making the Wizard's Court and the Astral Ward visible to the world — introducing them, strengthening the relationships between nations, and securing the alliances that the new structure requires.
