Solus and Kamila returned only to take part in the celebrations once the deal was sealed.
Even though resources were scarce, the Kingdom and the Empire had brought the means to hold a banquet and exchange gifts with all their allies.
The elves of Setraliie, the people of Zelex, and the undead of the Eclipsed Lands had fought on their own until that moment, enduring harsh conditions and having only the food from the local Council to sustain themselves.
The banquet was the way for the Kingdom and the Empire to thank their allies for their sacrifices and start the coexistence with the human side of the expedition on the right foot.
As for the elves of Medolin, the banquet was meant to impress them and give them a taste of their future freedom.
"How long until the Gate is completed?" Lith asked with a polite smile plastered on his face. "I've done my part and I can't wait to get out of here."
"A few days. One week tops."
