"Step forth," resonated a voice from within. Alexander and his retinue entered the hall. Seated in its midst was an elder clad in regal white attire, exuding an aura of sagacity and command. This figure was none other than the venerable luminary of the Azure Peak Sect—Edmund Sterling.
As they crossed the threshold, Edmund Sterling unfurled his gaze. "What prompts your visitation?" He spoke with equanimity, a faint curve gracing his lips as his eyes met Liam Quincy's. It was under Edmund Sterling's decree that Liam Quincy had been christened, with aspirations for him to perpetuate the sect's honor. Sterling envisaged a future wherein Quincy would ascend to the Advanced realm, reclaiming the sect's esteemed repute.
In the company of Alexander were five distinguished female practitioners, each wielding substantial influence within the sect. Their presence lent an air of elegance and momentousness to the assembly.
