He explains that these elves are from a Kingdom known as Mengale, which is comprised of xenophobic elves who believe in elvan superiority. It is therefore important that they be met by full elves. “And you want us?” Kharole exclaims.

The custom built windows are fitted into openings between the sections of wood. All furniture, cups, and plates are also made of hard wood. There are eight tables of various size, with between two and six chairs at each. Three of the tables are currently occupied by elves. Also in the room are four curved benches arranged in a circle.

The speaker sits, and another elf then stands and tells a story. This story is almost as boring and anti-climactic, although it does have one brief action scene when the elf fights off a pair of kobolds with a dagger.
