Crisis Cycles

The Shangal would never be the same after the event they henceforth called 'Stalkfall' - the damage wrought was a blow to the unity of the many species and factions, which would take hundreds of years to recover, even as the Council would continue to organise the war effort as best it could. Points of disagreement often revolved around the power of the aerial Wingborn over the rest of society as the importance of Blushes grew while the surface of the Jungle recovered.

Shangal was adamant that the lunar refugees return control of the conquered lands to their original holders, in exchange for resettlement elsewhere in the world. Resentment and bitterness at how their peaceful attempts at contact were treated would take a long time to heal, just as the jungle did.

Copperite insistence on arming the skystalk on weapons heightened suspicions for a few years, though many groups would later admit that more envoys should have been sent to the moon before such an ambitious project and that leaving it unarmed was thus unwise. The Shangal bonded with the Khallow and Halflings over their mutual experiences of loss and destruction. Tensions with Sogosha, the remnants of the old Republic and Orcs (especially when the treachery was eventually discovered decades later) would continue, especially as the crisis faded and the importance of the Crisis Council began to fade.

The Crisis Council itself eventually reformed into a more permanent body, but with limited power and more as a diplomatic meeting-ground than anything else... until another Crisis would emerge to threaten the world.
