The mages' summit in the Tower of Har-Thelen transpired in the shadows of the day, a silent respect offered to the inhabitants by the guests that arrived. The meeting was brief, with satisfied faces of elves, humans, and distinct others being seen departing under the watchful eye of the Nuitari. Rumors go among the occultists and black robes within that another summit may be held in some days' time.
A single phrase echoes among the recipients: "An exchange: to take, one must give."
