Inside a dimly lit place, which was vast enough that accommodating a thousand people wouldn't be a problem, could be seen several individuals currently standing in a perfect formation.
There was an elevated stage, at the far end of the hall toward which the others faced.
Their faces remained hidden under a loosely hanging shroud, while these individuals waited for their leader to begin the meeting.
Finally, a man with similar attire but without anything obstructing his face climbed the stag and walked to stand in the middle. His grey ageing eyes stared at the crowd while his long white hair fell over his shoulders. The man outwardly looked like a human, but no one present inside the hall knew the real identity of the person.
"I am delighted that you all made some time for this auspicious gathering. I humbly pay my respect and hope that we can find a solution of our growing problems."
