Meanwhile, the Nastrondi had arrived in Tar Sequinus for the feast. While this was an occasion of goodwill, the Nastrondi were not very trusting of outsiders. As such, among the retinue of King Nieldun and company were poison testers, five hundred Guardian Devils and Archy. The main Nastrondi guests would be King Nieldun and his children along with Lord Bornetall and his family. As they arrived at the gates with servants and elite warriors, King Nieldun asked what arrangements should be made for Archy to ensure he had a good time while not leaving a terrifyingly bad impression upon the people and nobles of the land.
