Some plot points need to be discussed
In LOKR Gerald Lightbringer and his squad undermined the efforts of the unblinded and disrupted the ritual in Stormcloud temple, one can infer they were attempting to transport the temple and mountain range into the corrupted realm or transport something to the ritual site (it was mostly implied to be the latter, the overseer wanted to enter the normal realm).

However, despite seeing the victory of defeating seeress Iriza take place in Stormcloud (because they were evacuated there by the temple master) in this game the temple is still somehow in the corrupted realm. Shouldn't defeating a key component of the cult and disrupting their attempts at least prevent the mountain region from being affected?

Also, if what the heroes did in LOKR backfired and the eyeball exploding messed the land up why was there no mention of it in the post credits or stranded and/or corrupted versions of the squad featured in this game? It seems as though the point of that game, stopping the cult from doing their thing, was ruined because the enemy succeeded without the player even being told that they lost the war until alliance does a 180 and ends with a *portion* of the overseer being petrified.
