The meeting is led by Simeon, the head of the Lyceum.Kiernan Stekart, head of the school's war department, wears runes on his clothing. He has sworn to fight against the tyranny of Emperor Leska.Magistrate Lorb Votberd proposes forming a refugee police force and questioning all refugees. He also wants to avoid becoming dependent on other nations.Lee Sidoneth is responsible for the harbor, which is overcrowded due to the influx of refugees.Commander Xavious Foebane, a dwarf from Dassen, advocates forming as many alliances as possible and increasing the number of mages in the military. He also suggests finding and bringing the Torch of the Burning Sky to their side. This torch granted the previous emperor immortality.Giorgio is a member of the Wayfarer Theatre. They are a highly mobile (and magical) group, willing to assist, although there are currently issues with teleportation. Sheena Larkins is the guildmaster of the Wayfarers. He hands out tickets to an upcoming show, The Spectacular Trial of Toteth Topec, encouraging everyone to attend.Dassen Ambassador Keifer Numhaut reports that King Steppenguard is unhappy with the refugee situation and prefers to remain neutral in the war.Sindaire Ambassador Cranston Snord is against Regasia but wants to tread carefully. He has a lead on where the Torch might be—likely in the old emperor's castle, Korstull, which is engulfed in a firestorm.Ostalin Ambassador Kazha Lonam demands a third of the land of each of the other countries, in exchange for Ostalin's military aid, which is not well-received by the others.Krugli diplomatically shares the military information the group has gathered with the council. Although they don't have time to review it during the meeting, they agree to examine it later. The information turns out to be encoded, and Simeon begins working on it. He recognizes it as being written by Kreven, the second-in-command of the Regasians. He also found out using divinations that it has something to do with the mysterious Trillith.Suddenly, a man flies into the room, then out of the window, and then calmly re-enters to announce that seven elves bearing the Shahalesti flag have entered the tower. Their leader, Shalosha, daughter of the Shining Lord Shaaladel, informs the council that a fleet is en route to prove Shahalesti’s willingness to fight and take leadership. The fleet plans to block traffic in and out of the harbor, and they aim to take control of Seaquen. Although no one agrees with this plan, the fleet's help is welcomed.Temple Meeting:The god of sorcery’s representative arrives with ten followers, though they wait respectfully outside. The meeting begins with bickering between the different religious factions, but eventually, they are convinced to support a joint temple and work towards maximum cooperation between the faiths. They agree to continue the construction of the temple under Laurabec’s supervision.After the day's events, everyone returns home to rest.</blockquote>
