owever, time passes differently in Samhan. The passage of time is woven into the very fabric that unites the elemental realm with the physical. It’s clock ticks faster wherever the veil between realms is thin enough to interact with eachother, as a result crops mature faster and animals gestate, give birth and return to the earth quicker. Humans, even those without defender blood, do not experience a shortened life, just more sunrises and sunsets in their life to cherish.

Building relationships with the locals is essential for immediate and lasting excellence no matter where a defender chooses to settle. Some townspeople are especially active during the day, while others appear only at night or only on weekends. Shopkeepers have employees who cover odd shifts, and the relationship forged with each will provide unique and unpredictable advantages for each defender. They must wisely invest their limited time in forging friendships that serve their immediate aspirations as well as those that will provide a more profound return on that time invested.

Every choice matters, as these friendships shape the player’s path and in the process may entangle them in the politics of daily town life. Choosing friends is like picking sides, and defenders must tread carefully, balancing their ambitions within a world that has been thriving long before their arrival.
