The end of the war caught many wizards off guard.
No one had anticipated that a war, expected to last indefinitely, would conclude in less than a decade.
Of the one million wizards who participated in this expedition, the White Wizard Army lost seventy thousand, while the Black Wizards lost nearly fifty thousand.
The brutality of the underground battlefield far surpassed that of the surface.
Yet, this loss, compared to a normal expedition, was still considered minimal.
For the vast majority of wizards, this was a fortunate outcome.
Few wizards were willing to risk their lives battling the tree beings.
Post-war operations were swiftly organized under the direction of Garon the Great Wizard and commenced in an orderly fashion.
The first issue addressed was the planning of the frontier zones. The existing Wizard Exploration Zones remained unchanged, but there was no need to continue expanding into the uncultivated wilds.
