The bells rang - it was time for the meeting. 

Various members of the many kingdoms took their place in the meeting hall, which consisted of a stone table in the shape of a ring, surrounding a stone structure. What this encompassed was not known, but it was thought to be a shrine of a religion of old. Stone seats surrounded the table, one for each representative. 

In one of these seats stood Drelin, waiting for the meeting to commence. This would be his first public appearance, so many would dismiss him as a statue. Much to his advantage.
