Location: Seven Peaks - Entrance Gatehouse
The gatehouse alert came during the third day of city construction.
Naida's voice crackled through the communication network, her tracker's instincts evident in the controlled urgency. "Elder Raven, unusual arrivals at the main gate. Two massive figures, approximately eight feet tall. They're carrying a small child. They look... desperate."
Raven set down the formation blueprint she'd been reviewing and headed for the gatehouse. City construction crews worked throughout the valley—disciples and hired laborers raising walls, laying foundations, implementing the holographic plans with technomagic precision. But unusual arrivals took priority.
The defensive formations had already assessed the newcomers as non-threatening, but Naida stood at the gate with professional wariness anyway. Behind her, Taron had arrived with three Martial Hall disciples, ready for whatever situation presented itself.
