Ning arrived at the summit venue alongside the rest of the Conjoran delegation, traveling in one of several government vehicles that moved together through the streets of Cape Mistam under the protection of Veronoth's royal guard.
The venue itself had been constructed on one of the broad cliffs overlooking the ocean, where an enormous white-stone complex rose above several terraced gardens and open courtyards, combining the older architecture of Veronoth with large sections of glass and reinforced metal that had clearly been added specifically for events involving awakened individuals.
Flags of all nations and alliances flapped in the ocean wind, proud and high.
Even from outside, Ning could tell that security had been taken far more seriously than it had been at the palace.
