The Royal Advisory Council convened inside the eastern wing of Kingsford's Royal Palace, where matters involving the Kingdom's laws, territorial privileges, and major institutions were regularly examined before being submitted to the King.
Sage arrived shortly before the appointed hour, accompanied by Lucan and Boren. Unlike his previous meetings with Crown Prince Richard, this consultation involved a considerably larger gathering of officials, several of whom had already expressed reservations about the Adventurer Guild's proposed Royal Charter.
The chamber itself was spacious, with a long semicircular table positioned beneath the royal crest of House Alden.
Minister Aldous Pembroke occupied one of the central seats, while Lord Thomas Ellery sat beside several senior legal advisers.
Lord Percival Harcourt was also present, accompanied by representatives from the departments responsible for territorial administration and commercial regulation.
