The next day arrived, and the Event Hall of the Outer Court was nearly filled to the brim with attendees whose excitement for the Recruitment Event was beyond palpable. Their presence only served to further accentuate the beauty of the vast expanse they occupied.
Shaped in a wide, oval arc, the hall's structure rose in layered terraces of deep polished stone and embedded luminous lines, softly glowing with the gentle pulse of refined minerals. Though it bore the scale of a coliseum, it carried none of the crude brutality.
The walls were constructed of gleaming white granite veined with light-gold tracery, and high, arched ceilings bore delicate etchings of stars with an eclipsing sun at the center. Suspended overhead were luminous crystals that diffused light throughout the space, bathing the room in an almost heavenly brightness.
