Reese was convinced that Herag was still alive, but she did not expect him to return so soon.
Herag's location was traced to the depths of the pollution zone, a place where returning usually takes years.
After Herag assured Reese of his safety, Reese finally calmed down a little; she no longer needed to think about going to the pollution zone and just had to wait for Herag to return.
Herag shortly thereafter caught up with Reese about what had happened since his departure, gaining a general understanding of the situation.
When he was teleported to the pollution zone, on the Serlandir side, investigations into the slum incident began.
The impact of this incident was enormous; seventy to eighty percent of Silver Moon City was affected by the spreading vines, causing ground subsidence and building collapses everywhere.
After some time, the witch array below the slums was finally investigated and understood by Serlandir.
