Meanwhile, at this time an important event was occurring in the Grand Council Chamber of the Royal Palace of Eloriath.
The grand council chamber of the Eloriath Kingdom was a study in opulence and severity. Massive tapestries depicting legendary battles adorned the high stone walls, and a large circular table of polished mahogany occupied the center. Around it sat King Thaleon and his most trusted advisors, their faces tense with the weight of the kingdom's challenges.
King Thaleon himself cut an imposing figure, his broad shoulders clad in royal blue robes lined with silver thread. His crown, understated yet regal, rested lightly upon his graying hair. Though his visage bore the marks of age and experience, his sharp blue eyes betrayed a mind still keen and vigilant.
