The scales tip when the people who wield power change their minds or when a new force, whether it’s a rising faction or an unexpected ally, steps onto the stage. Small shifts in intent can ripple out; the next turning point will likely come from an alliance that proves it can hold together under pressure, or from a leader who chooses a path other than the one everyone expects. Keep your eyes on the decisions that matter, and the balance will reveal itself.

Exactly. The quiet murmurs of change often arrive at the margins, then grow into waves that sweep the whole realm. Watch them, and you’ll be ready when the tide turns.
