So, as happens a lot in this alternate version of Exiern, a point of divergence occurs when the potential assassins of the leadership of the Ash Tribe make their move. Unlike in the original version of Exiern, they break off because there's people outside who weren't expected to be here.
A miniature chain reaction inside a bigger one that was set off because unlike the original Exiern story, Typh brought someone back (with whom he would argue with and that would hence take them both outside) and that's because he was different here in one major respect and as a result, that led to a whole lot of people who are around who otherwise weren't.
Certain other things happened more or less on schedule, though as Tiffany could attest to. Starting with the fact she's around to attest to anything in the first place!
This post is from South Korea! (I and Exiern sure get around!)
Update: I decided to rename the previous page because I belatedly thought of a title that fits better both with the page itself and the title of this one!
