The Commercial Alliance differed from other merchant groups; they had far too many supplies to transport. With multiple merchant associations moving together, their departure was much later than other merchant caravans. Communication with other linked caravans broke down, and none of the scouts sent to explore the roads returned. Before their deaths, they transmitted messages indicating the Black Blood Bizarre were blocking the paths.
The Commercial Alliance immediately sought alternative routes, dispatching Cultivators to investigate other potential exits, only to receive strangely consistent results.
Black Blood Bizarre!
Every single exit was blocked by the Black Blood Bizarre, leaving no chance to escape the Great Wilderness.
