The people of Torrhen were terrified of their gods wrath and shamed by their actions, his divine display had taught them no fear of death but they had failed to learn the true point of the display. That an afterlife awaited those who were worthy, not everyone and that no fear of death was foolish. How did they know if they were strong or not ? Only their god would judge them as they had seen the folly and pain of judging themselves.

The city in the mountains went into morning as it grieved the loss of those taken and struck down by their god, but they strived on, determined not to make the same mistake and be declared weak. They set to work on building a great temple in the centre of Torrhen, with the city constructed they could now at last work on it and appease their god. While pilgrims from the city, mostly the weak for the strong did not want to give up their place in New Heavan as they deserved it in their eyes, went to create new settlements to support the city.

They created two new villages, either side of the mountains and hunted the animals, trying their best to tame them and herd them together for easier hunting and sustaining the beasts numbers. Food was sent up to the city and trade was starting between the settlements. The people of Torrhen found their hunger slated also and life became not only easier but better in the mountain city. They had more time to devote to worship, less time wasted on hunting and forgaing over hard rock. They also had more time to devote to combat training and improving their strenght, mentally and physically.

It seemed a warrior monk like people were forming in the city of Torrhen and the valley of New Heavan. Strong and devoted, yet living a simple life high up in the mountains as close to their god as possible. Many of the weak were ushered out to the side settlements, only those who were willing to aid the strong and perhaps become strong were welcome to stay. Although all those who's time approached made the way back to the city to meet with the blade and be judged. To have their souls meet with their god or be doomed to their howling, or so they thought anyway. The eagles soaring over head a reminder to the people that their god watched them even though they were no longer in the holy city.

Power flowed to Blaer as his people worshipped and build in his name, dedicating much of their mortal lives to worshipping in the city of Torrhen and little else.

Perhaps due to morphic fields but also the arrival of civilisation, the technology level rises. People everywhere have mastered basic skills, evolving from the hunter gathering tribal form of life. Animal husbandry, herding and raising animals for food and controlling their numbers rather than having to hunt. But also more advanced wooden and stone structures and complex wooden mechanisms. Writting and reading were also common place now. Basic crop farming had also finially arrived, even if it was in its infancy.

The first discovery of metal was also made, bronze though, a weak and more mallable metal compaired to others, it was still a great advancement.
