(Status: Domestic Operations. Debriefing.)
Location: The Pendelton Estate - Main Dining Hall.
The dining hall of the Pendelton Estate was a testament to Arthur's childhood obsession with thermodynamics.
In most castles across Osgard, dinner was a race against the ambient temperature. You ate quickly before the grease congealed on the plate, huddled near a smoky fireplace that toasted your back while your front froze.
Here, the air was uniformly seventy degrees. The Mana-Cycle vents, hidden behind tasteful oak paneling, breathed a gentle, invisible warmth. The chandelier above the table didn't drip tallow; it glowed with the steady, white light of alchemical phosphorescence (Arthur's "Version 2.0" mixture, stabilized with salt).
Arthur sat at his usual spot on the right hand of the head of the table.
