So, I was exploring Mor Dhona when I arrived at Camp Brittlebark. When I talked to the NPC Thomas, he said:

"The city of Sharlayan is no more. The lakebeds are drying up, the skies are cleaved by flying monstrosities of steel... The end is nigh, friend."

So, what do you think it means?
Do you think it means the empire is actually beginning his assault on Sharlayan?
Or do you think it has something to do with the opening? The reason why the dragons were defending the land agains the dreadnought?
