By this time, Dragonfolk had spread across Ignisar, but the Archipelago remained their true home. The strategic position of the islands made them a prime location for trade, and soon, outposts from Luminary, Humans, and Dwarves began to spring up.

The Luminary, ever focused on efficiency, established trade routes using teleportation circles to quickly move goods, while Humans and Dwarves relied on traditional methods, favoring ships for transport. The first experimental 'flying magitech ships' were also introduced, though their use was still limited and cautious.

Despite the benefits of these new trade hubs, tensions often simmered beneath the surface. Keeping the peace between the diverse races proved challenging, but the Dragonfolk, ever resourceful, managed to navigate these difficulties. The lands of the Archipelago were not particularly valuable to the other races until an unexplained phenomenon occurred, changing the course of history and drawing even more attention to the once-overlooked islands.
