Well that changes things doesn't it?

I mean, I always thought we had only seen the tip of the iceberg in regards to the Grimm: a pack of Beowolves, a pair of Ursa minors; even the larger Ursa Major, a Death Stalker, etc.? Those aren't a threat to civilization. But a few dozen packs, a few dozen lager Grimm; several helpings of the above? Plus whatever Grimm are not commonly seen/have been straight-up forgotten? That's a serious threat.

But now, the possibility that the "Giant Nevermore" in Players and Pieces is actually a "Little Nevermore"? That's scary.

You know, I'm suddenly reminded of The Devil's Advocate WP's Speculative Blogs on Remnant's Geography - and how Vale is probably the most "peaceful" of the four kingdoms; Compared to Atlas's overpopulation, Mistral's possible natural disasters, and Vacuo's general instability, Vale doesn't seem to have any outstanding problems.

I guess that makes it a good place to show the "time of peace"; it's a place where you could actually believe that(maybe that's part of why Vale doesn't appear to have a professional standing army, instead relying on "militia" and Hunters for defense?).
