A gentleman who looked to be in his late twenties walked to the stage. He was wearing a navy blue suit and a top hat and had well groomed full beard.

"Ah, I am sorry to interrupt your conversations. My name is, Varth Elmer and I just hopped to say a few words to those of you who aim to join our guild."
His voice calm and peaceful but it spread to everyone clearly, if the attention on him before was surprising then, at this moment it was astounding.
