Several members of the Aedridan royal family sat in a court-like chamber. Two women, in particular, sat on opposite sides of the room in elevated thrones. On each side, a handful of people, clearly their siblings, had gathered behind them. Letheya had six siblings behind her, and Ayalla had five behind her.
According to the sisters, there was at least one brother who was not present and had thrown his support in with Ayalla. This brother was apparently away at Stark Academy, the major academic institution in Aedrider.
Lucius was standing near the doorway, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Desmond and Jade stood beside him, exuding an aura that befitted their noble upbringing. Lucius had been taught how to carry himself in a similar manner. However, the way he saw it the elves needed him, not the other way around. With that in mind, he saw no need to try and present himself in any special manner.
