The first meeting of the Eastern Alliance was finally held, marking a turning point for the cities and guilds that had chosen to place their trust in one another.
Representatives from various regions gathered in a spacious meeting hall, the atmosphere filled with cautious optimism and quiet tension.
This was the first time many of them had sat together under a single banner, and every word spoken in this room carried weight that could shape the future of the eastern continent.
Ashley was the first to open the discussion. She deliberately chose a topic that aligned perfectly with her strengths and expertise, the economy.
Among all the issues faced by the alliance, economic cooperation was the most fundamental and, in her view, the easiest to agree upon.
Stability in trade and resources would naturally lead to strength in other areas.
She was confident that discussions about economic collaboration between alliance members would be easy for everyone to follow.
