When the three-hour mark struck, a lull spread through the massive hall. 100 Participants retreated, leaving their products on display for the eagerly awaited assessment round. Each item bore the fruit of hard work and creativity, crafted with precision and patience, waiting to be appraised by the twelve evaluators.
Each bearing the coveted title of GrandMaster Apothecary, revered in their respective domains. Eight came from each Vanyar community, representative of their own colony.
The rest of the panel comprised an eclectic mix, including a high elf, dark elves, and one human, the eminent GrandMaster Hazard, a figure familiar to Emery. Last but certainly not least, the Grand Maestro Fein Al Thor himself graced the panel, his presence a seal of prestige and respect.
