No. We had stopped their war and managed to negotiate a cease fire. The issue was the magic the king used. Before we even got there that world was finished. A rift in space and time puts enormous pressure on a world. If you don’t close it...it consumes that world. The only two ways I know to close rifts are overloading a device that folds space and time. Or destroying the planet it’s on. I had hoped we could find a way to close this one without either option.

The rift grew so fast...we have to find ways to close them. That can never happen again.
