War is one of the reasons why the allocation of energy water to the inhabitants of a place will be reduced.
Since war is coming to Ivory Town, many people are not optimistic about their current situation. It is why many people decided to leave now that they had the choice and chance to.
The lamp bearers finally arrived one and a half months after the death of Sheckel.
The reinforcement that she asked for should have arrived one month and a week ago. But the reinforcement heard of her death and everything that happened to her through the blood network.
The reinforcement team was composed of just ten lamp bearers. Ten wasn't going to change the situation, so they returned to get more helpers instead of going to Ivory Town to die.
It took a month and a week later for them to report the death of Sheckel, ask for more lamp bearers, set off, and arrive at Ivory Town.
