The Council of Elders

Throne room

Queen Selene entered the throne room, flanked by two rows of guards, both in front and behind her. 

As they reached the throne area, half of the guards remained by the door while the others assumed their positions around the platform leading to her majestic throne.

Her watchful gaze scanned the room, settling on the six Crystalforge elders seated at the rectangular table before her. She nodded regally and spoke, "Since everyone is present, let us begin."

Then, Queen Selene turned her attention to one of the elders. "Elder Caz, how is the situation within the clan?" she asked.

Elder Caz, an elderly man with waist-length bluish hair locs and wearing a long grey robe, rose from his seat and replied, "My Queen, the Crystalforge clan is fully prepared for war. Depending on the responses we receive from the remaining five major clans, we will discern our allies from our opponents and act accordingly."
