With every guest greeted properly, the king stood, extending his hands to the crowd. "Hundreds of years ago, my brother Prince Aereze brought Glen Avon into the sky, far from the dangers of the Earth. Tonight, your prince will perform the ritual that allows Glen Avon to survive and to shine, like a star in the sky, looking down benevolently on those below."<br/><br/>He beckoned to the esteemed audience, then left the throne room. The party walked down several flights of stairs, going deeper and deeper until they reached the very heart of Glen Avon. There, they entered into a large circular chamber. Runic circles were inscribed into the stone ground, and crystals lined the ceiling like the center of a geode. Aereze stood at the center of the circle. Beside him was a beautiful elf in opulent emerald green robes and a drow in handsome scale armor, speaking in hushed tones with the prince. Just outside the circle was a ring of guards with needle-sharp spears, keeping the onlookers from getting too close.
