A week later, the day of Adam's public hearing arrived.
From early morning, people had already begun gathering in Ravenfell's main square.
By midday, the place was packed beyond capacity. Tens of thousands filled every open space, standing shoulder to shoulder as they waited for the event to begin. The sound of conversation rolled across the square like a tide of voices.
The city had thoroughly prepared for this moment.
Raised viewing platforms and structured stands had been built along the edges of the square, reserved for distinguished Magi and influential figures. From these elevated positions, they would have a clear view of the stage where the hearing would take place.
At the far end of the square stood the main platform.
For now, it remained empty.
That was where Adam Constantine would stand and address the gathered crowd.
