It took a few moments of absorption before the crowd burst into cheers. While the audience was clapping wildly (some people were sniffing, and a few more were sobbing outright), Mathilda slowly entered the stage.

She smiled and watched the large crowd, comfortable and patiently waiting for them to calm.

When they did, somehow, she began to speak. Her voice was both soothing and powerful, and it immediately captured everyone’s attention.

"That will be Alterra’s official hymn, do you like it?"

The crowd naturally answered the affirmative, followed by another applause, as if the emotions brought in them by the hymn still weren’t expressed enough by their previous applause.

"Some might be puzzled about what such a hymn was used for. In our case, it is to remind everyone of what they have been through, as well as to inspire people’s spirits. It will be played every time the territory lands on a major milestone like an upgrade.

"Today, we stand at the dawn of a new era. A year into our travel here, we have carved ourselves a home, and now this home has integrated into this new world—even affecting it…" she paused, looking at the aborigines in the front rows. "Hopefully for the better."

The aborigines nodded sincerely and Mathilda smiled, turning to the rest of the crowd. "This is an achievement not of an individual, but by our collective efforts.

"Everyone who participated are heroes in their own right; each of you affected and assisted Alterra’s steps to where it is now.

"From the fields, to the workshops, to the brave defenders who guarded our walls—everyone’s hard work and dedication laid the foundation on which our new Town is built.

"Congratulations to all of us, and shall we witness the birth of the legacy that will last for endless generations!"

Another burst of applause resounded across the territory, and a strong sense of pride emanated from everyone, particularly Alterrans—whether or not they were Residents.

"Now, we all know in our hearts we are one, all working to build and protect this home. We thought it’d be fitting… to have our own symbol—

"With great honor and pride, we will now unveil our emblem and our flag!" She exclaimed and everyone cheered. The aborigines were a little startled, but also not surprised in the end.

Flags and emblems were—generally—found only in cities because they symbolized an absolute place in this world.

In Xeno, if a territory ’arrogantly’ created emblems earlier than this, then it might irk others—especially those who were of the same level. Worse, they might be hated by cities themselves.

They could even get attacked just to be ’put down’ to their place, and this was why very—very—few towns dared to have their own symbols.

However, there were just places that emitted the aura of stability and strength, even if the territory was young.
