3. Housing Crisis - Still severe despite construction progress
4. Resource Strain - Population growth outpacing infrastructure development
Moderate Concerns

4. Medical Supplies - Healing potion reserves depleted during trials

Opportunities

2. Population Diversity - Variety of skills and perspectives enriching community

---
CONCLUSION
Volume 4 (Chapters Prologue through 2.4) represents a critical turning point in Maya Village's development. The successful integration of 370 beast folk individuals, the selection of Chief Tamba through fair and transparent trials, and the demonstration of mutual respect between species has positioned the village for unprecedented growth.
However, this success comes with significant risks. The Imperial Intelligence investigation, unknown to the village, represents an existential threat that could emerge within months. The Shadowfen Forest conflict remains unresolved. The housing crisis, despite construction progress, continues to strain resources and test the community's cohesion.
The next phase of development will determine whether Maya Village's ambitious experiment in cross-species integration succeeds or fails. The foundations have been laid. The leadership is in place. The challenges are known.
The future remains uncertain, but for now, the village has earned a moment of cautious optimism.
