One year ago, our city changed forever.
The devastation of Firstfall left wounds that will take generations to heal—scars carved into our streets, our skyline, and our hearts. Thousands of lives were lost. Entire communities were uprooted. West Lovat remains closed, the wreckage still looms over us, a grim monument to that terrible day.
But today, we remember not just the loss, but the resilience. We remember the first responders who braved the destruction to save lives. The families who held together through unimaginable grief. The workers who toiled night and day to restore what could be salvaged. We remember the strength of Lovat itself, a city that endures even in the face of the impossible.
As we gather to mark this solemn anniversary, let us honor those we lost with our commitment to rebuilding. Let us fight for a safer, stronger Lovat—one that carries the memory of Firstfall not as a burden, but as a vow to protect and uplift each other.
In the coming weeks, the city will unveil new initiatives to support those still displaced and ensure that our infrastructure is reinforced against future disasters. The work is not done. The grief has not passed. But together, we will continue forward.
Lovat remembers. Lovat stands.
Mayor Camilla Magnez
