Although the Holy Temple has made concessions multiple times on the matter of Erune, today is clearly the ultimate showdown. If the Princess can resolve the northern issues in one fell swoop, then the unification or even the revitalization of Erune would only be a matter of time.
The Cruz people are not pleased to see a revitalized Erune, but there is no core conflict between them. Compared to the Empire of the Eagle, Erune is merely a small Kingdom enjoying its peace. For Wood, it is the same; compared to the Cruz people, he is first and foremost a faithful adherent to the Golden Flame Path, hence he has long advocated the Holy Temple's neutral stance.
Though, until this stance can no longer be maintained, he will support every measure taken by the Flame Temple. It turned out that those measures were all wrong. But the former Great Priest of Ambeser now needs to consider how to mend the damage caused by these errors, rather than questioning the Holy Temple's action plan.
