The Origin Point's Renaissance

Compositora is set to become the bright, bustling, magical metropolis it once was; after years of difficulty, everyone who calls the city home can thrive once again. What was once a small frontier in the desert has, over a short period of time, been transformed into a proper town. Where there were once dirt roads and sparse buildings, there are now distinct residential neighborhoods, areas of industry, and a new university; all set alongside neatly paved streets and walkways. It is a time of prosperity.
Led by a mysterious man in a hooded cloak, a group of black-clad youths has arrived on the scene to challenge the ideals and leadership of The Resistance, the group that has led the charge into this prosperous era. Simultaneously, there have been reports of the world itself having moments of distortion, as if there are tears within its very being, which have become worse over time.
With everything that's been established now coming into question, is there any way to navigate the issues that have arisen that doesn't result in yet another societal decline? As always, the Resistance prepares to fight on, with a little help from their friends.
