The grand chamber echoed with murmurs and arguments, pressure filling the room as a result of the gathered Lords of the Fated Families of the Eastern Shirefort Continent.
Seated around an expansive round table carved from the finest ebony, they represented the strongest and most influential families in the land. At the head of the table sat Great Elder White Fang, his presence commanding the room like a storm on the verge of breaking.
Among the Lords were familiar faces: Lord Terrace, known for his tactical brilliance; Lord Acheon, with his sharp intellect and composed demeanor; and Lady Leah, whose mastery of diplomatic maneuvers and her short temper trigger had earned her respect across regions.
Beside them were other figures—Lords of less renown but no less power—each carrying the weight of their family's legacy.
