Lucien did not ask them to begin with something small.
Aurelia realized that immediately when he projected a map of the Big World across the center of the room.
Five continents appeared.
The distances between them were enormous.
Oceans filled most of the gaps.
The Black Mass supercontinent remained separate, wrapped in corruption and the slowly receding barrier that had changed the world's balance months earlier.
Lucien looked at the five inhabited continents.
"I want to put these back together."
Nobody answered.
Elunara stared at the map.
The Grandmaster leaned forward.
Aurelia looked at Lucien as though she was waiting for him to clarify.
He did not.
Eventually, Elunara pointed toward the projection.
"You mean politically?"
"Physically."
The room became quiet again.
Lucien had expected that reaction.
The idea had been forming in his mind for some time now.
The five continents had spent ages separated.
