"Obviously a lot of those deaths could have been prevented if the inhabitants weren't so stupid that they decided to live in caves instead of using the tunnels to escape back to the city, but I digress." *Dies of laughter* And mine night hath been created.

From the beginning it was implied that Remnant is in deep ish, but everyone is too focused on not fighting with one another to realize it. Peace, in this case, is only a state of mind, because really, how peaceful can you truly be if you live literally, next door to your enemy? Poor Ozpin, he's just trying to maintain what little peace the kingdoms have been enjoying. I don't blame him for wanting to hold back the hammer. Either way, Cinder's plans are coming along smoothly. Her end goal will most likely disrupt the stability of the kingdoms and throw everyone into chaos. Glorious Chaos.

Perhaps I've been watching too much of Madoka Magica, and even Legend of Korra, but I so crave for that deep political and philosphical struggle to take place in RWBY. And just gut wrenching action. And just for a catastrophe. I want to see how my protagonist handle a catastrophe. How they grow. That would most likely take place outside of the kingdoms. There is something much bigger going on, I agree with you. I don't know why, but poeple have been speculating that P-money will die. If P-money  died, I wouldn't be upset. Ok, I would, but for story telling purposes I wouldn't be. Annywayyyyyy,

The Grimm are becoming increasingly more threatening. Mankind has been confident in their inventions and tenacity but the CoG are just as tenacious, and they are learning. Between the interspecies fighting and the Queen, Humanity is only a starw away from cracking. And when they do, the Goliaths and Lord knows what else will rush in like a tidal wave. Ah, how my body quivers with the thought of our heroes fighting intensely for their lives to protect the city from an onslaught of Grimm. Sigh. I fear it is too soon for that. And perhaps, RWBY is not to that level.

Whatever the bigger story is, I'm sure it has to do with Dust and the CoG. Maybe even the pre-history of Remnant, as apparently, it's only a fragment left behind of the world that it used to be.
