The meeting unfolded in the grand garrison hall, its stone walls echoing with hushed conversations and the shuffling of feet as Alan made his way inside. The room was already bustling with activity, with approximately 50 individuals gathered within its spacious confines. These were not just any players; they comprised the upper echelons of leadership, officers, and battle-hardened veterans from the four servers.
As Alan took in the scene, he noticed that a formidable wooden table dominated the center of the hall. Its polished surface gleamed under the soft ambient light. However, despite its immense size, only eight wooden chairs had been strategically arranged around the table.
