Thirteen stone chairs, thrones, really, were positioned in a perfect circle around a raised central dais. Each throne was unique, carved with symbols and patterns representing its clan, and sized appropriately for its occupant. Some were massive, built for nine-foot warriors. Others were smaller and more delicate, suggesting different physiques.
As Jorghan entered with Sigora, Kal'tun, and Korreth, he saw that most of the thrones were already occupied.
His observing gaze swept across them, cataloging details with the careful attention of someone who understood that knowledge was survival.
To his left sat an elf whose skin had a faint grey tint, suggesting mountain clan heritage, probably adapted for underground living, with eyes that could see in darkness and physiology designed for thin air and enclosed spaces. The throne's carvings showed mining tools and geometric patterns.
