The first few weeks were hectic. Chaotic, even, with players showing up day and night at the Union Guild's doorstep, either to join Sarissa's ranks or to tell the administrative branch that they had created their own guilds and to leave their information with the Union's administrative staff.
Little by little, even though it was too fast for Sarissa to follow, the Union Guild became the centerpiece around which the other, smaller guilds revolved.
After a month, most of the players in the city were already affiliated with a guild, with very few choosing to remain independent.
Even though independence came with a cost, which Sarissa could not care about, because her hands were already full with everything that was happening both in the surface, and in the Black Market.
But she only came to know the turmoil underneath when the first attack came.
They thought it was just another incursion. Another wave of monsters, which had increased in the last few days. They were even prepared.
