During the month passing on Demadur Island, many things occurred.
Firstly, Midas was not bluffing when he said he wanted to make this island into a new kingdom.
His eagerness to begin the project was even enough to surprise his closest subordinates.
The first and most important step was ordered to be completed by him immediately.
This was rebuilding the forges within Karak-O.
After rescuing all of the orcs that remained alive, Midas had a force of nearly a thousand brutes under his control.
In the beginning, they were hesitant to contribute to their new master. However, Dorhal's efforts of persuasion were enough to quickly change their minds over the weeks.
After all, Dorhal wasn't someone who would ever betray them. If what he supported could lead to good things, his followers would listen to him wholeheartedly.
The orcs were quickly put to work in the duties of smithing. Forges burned brighter than ever before inside of Karak-O due to the Blood Essence they could use.
