Branwen takes in the information about Cor, considering it deeply.
So the Gates, if closed, could somehow destroy whole worlds. For a moment, she imagined the same happening to her homeland, but she shut her eyes, banishing the vision from her mind. It wouldn't happen, not on her watch.

"For my part, a few elders, like myself, were guarding the Gate on my side as I entered. Nobody else was there."
