Behind curious eyes, Nesalla watched as Solares quickly vanished from sight, leaving her alone with their guests. At this moment, the Stronghold fell silent, the only sound being the birds in the trees and the gentle warm breeze that made it way through the garden. This silence remained for longer than anticipated before Nesalla spoke in a much softer, more relaxed tone than Solares. [color=ed1c24]"Please follow me and I will give you all a quick tour of the Stronghold, though keep the rules Solares spoke about only a short moment ago, in mind."[/color] Nesalla turned gracefully upon her right foot and started to walk towards the entrance into the Stronghold. The two large metal doors were swiftly opened before she stepped inside, hoping the group would follow. 

As soon as the doors were swung open, the Wardens guests would see that the entire interior of the castle had been tirelessly and completely repaired by greatly skilled hands. It had even been refurbished to fit the Wardens constantly changing needs, an impressive display of the resources that they held. "[color=ed1c24]This is the main entryway into our Stronghold, as you can see, we have decided to make this a more permanent structure for the Wardens. As you can see, there is a stairway that leads up either side of this statue we have dedicated to the fallen."[/color] The statue showed A Warden in full armor upon one knee, her head lowered in a somber way over her own glaive that laid upon the ground beneath her. 

[color=ed1c24]"The Stairs on the left will lead you to the armory, artifact storage, a large number of rooms we use for mission planning, a map room, library, Medical area and a large room we use for meetings." Nesalla would then point to the right, "Up those stairs is the dining hall, the kitchen, a couple areas to relax and let your mind reflect upon the day, the living quarters where each of you will have your own room, and a number of other areas that you will find very helpful in all aspects."[/color] Nesalla would pause then start walking up the grand stairway on the right. 

[color=ed1c24]"Shortly before your arrival, we had a hearty meal prepared and set up in the dining hall. It is currently waiting for you along with Solares, who will explain the situation at hand and why you are all here. Once you have all finished eating and have let Solares speak, we will begin the mission immediately."[/color] Nesalla did not turn back to look at anyone in the group while she spoke, but her same less stern sounding voice remained. Finally the doors to the dining hall opened to show a large rectangular table that had a large assortment of foods and drinks from across Azeroth, some incredibly rare and expensive to acquire. 

At the far end of the table near a great fireplace was Solares, sitting at the table with an empty plate and cup lying in front of her. [color=00aeef]"Take a seat and feel free to help yourself to whatever drink and food you desire."[/color] said Solares, her voice echoing through the massive room that looked like it could hold at least three hundred people. Nesalla walked down through the dining room and silently took a seat next to Solares, keeping her eyes on someone who sat in the far corner of the room, alone.

Upon closer inspection, one would see a female Blood Elf Paladin sitting alone at a table built for one person. Upon it sat a simple cup of steaming coffee, a plate with a healthy looking soup and a book that was opened, being read from in silence. Her short golden blonde hair barely went down to her neck before it stopped, she wore no earrings and seemed to pay no attention to anyone in the room. Truly, it was an odd sight to behold, even more so inside of the Wardens Stronghold.
