The assembly comprised dozens of individuals, each adorned in a diverse array of colors that bespoke the rich tapestry of their respective realms. These figures, standing as representatives, formed a visual dichotomy, a living reflection of the discord between the two conflicting powers.

In the background, meticulously arranged rows of soldiers and horses awaited the outcome of the parlay. Their disciplined formation and watchful presence served as a palpable manifestation of the underlying tension that permeated the air. The expansive field, bordered by the poised armies on the distant horizon, seemed to hold its breath, awaiting the resolution that would inevitably shape the impending clash between the opposing forces.
