Two days before the Grand Gathering, the city around the main palace teemed with human-formed dragons. Most of them came from families or tribes far from the heart of the plane, who decided to go to the city a couple of days early so they could sightsee or visit the business district and buy items that were rarely seen in their domain, adding to the allure of the city.
Initially, all dragons attending the Grand Gathering should stay in the main palace's complex. However, the main palace would only be open a day before the Grand Gathering. Thus, all those who wanted to come early had to book and stay at an inn in the city until the main palace opened its gates.
Thankfully, the early arrivals were few. If there had been more, the city inns would have struggled to accommodate them all.
In Aillos's chamber, inside his office, Eissen provided an in-depth report on the city's current affairs.
