A tumultuous scene unfolded at one of the secluded docks of Sancta Vedelia. The air was charged with tension as dangerous criminals were being unloaded from the moored ships, the entire area isolated for this purpose.
The vessel in question had been assigned to the Great Teraquin House, a renowned Royal Elven House of significant prestige within the world. The Great Houses of Sancta Vedelia held a unique status akin to royalty, and they wielded power befitting their esteemed position.
Sancta Vedelia itself was governed by a council composed of all the Great Houses. Despite their diverse origins and differing perspectives, they worked together to ensure the prosperity of Sancta Vedelia. The island's blessings, its racial diversity, and the sacred presence of the Holy Tree fostered a deep sense of pride among its inhabitants. Such an environment only served to amplify their superiority complex, especially in comparison to the remaining Kingdoms beyond their shores.
