Dimensional Descent

The location was the territory of the Constellation Bow Alliance, more accurately, that of the Tarius family.

The Constellation Bow Alliance was one of the weaker organizations, at least compared to the Spirituals Religion, the Void Palace, or Shield Cross Stars. Originally, the Tarius family was a powerhouse that stood toe to toe with the Morales and the Suiards, but after losing the Bow Domain Ring, their strength plummeted in the coming generations.

In order to stave off this downfall, they brought together their subordinate families, many of which were branches formed by Tarius family members that had married into other families, and formed a single alliance behind a single Bow Constellation.

The result of this was their influence remaining relatively the same, although far more spread out. It was a sacrifice that allowed them to maintain their power, but it was still a sacrifice. The Tarius family of today could no longer do as they pleased, and the loss of Nazag, the youth meant to carry them back to their true prosperity had caused them to hit rock bottom...

They received reports not long afterward that Leonel Morales had been enraged, stolen their warships, and then kicked their people out, which had caused a delay in the message.

But then soon afterward, Nazag returned home...
