As the years went by, the training improved.
At first, it had been simple practice—moving people, building barriers, sending signals. Later, it became more detailed. They created maps showing safe paths and gathering points. They marked areas that should be protected first, such as food storage and wells.
They also built stronger structures near the shore. The docks were redesigned to break apart safely if something large struck them, so damage would be limited. Storage houses were moved slightly higher from the water. Important supplies were kept in more than one place so that a single attack would not destroy everything.
The village council met twice a year to review their plans. They asked questions.
Are our supplies enough?
Are our signals clear?
Does everyone know their role?
If something was unclear, they fixed it.
