Year 1821, 1st October.

This time of the year, the chill seemed to settle in, and people began to face the merciless winter. The cold can be very deadly, in most parts of the northern part of the empire.

The main house of the Kaezhlar clan was present in the north, several miles away from the glacier mountains. The mountains, being cold in general, were even harsher during the winter. No one could survive the mountains, moving through these lands.

The main house has been busy with the arrival of the guests. Today was the day of the wedding of the eldest son. He was getting married to the daughter of the omnimagic clan, the Naemarys.

They are said to be only second to the Kaehzlar. It was a proposal brought up by the Kaezhlar, and after a month of continuous discussions, they joined hands in the marital bliss.

The estate was glowing in the decoratory setting, and the Kaezhlar showed off their wealth and presented itself as the most powerful and influential clan in the region. The wedding ceremony was a grand affair, with guests from all over the kingdom attending to witness the union of two powerful families.

All sorts of flowers were hung from the ceiling and decorated through the rooms and halls. They weren't the only types of flowers. There were also yellow and light purple crocuses, copper and coral peonies, allium blooms in every known colour, and lilies of the valley. All these flowers put little hints of sweetness in the air, which mixed in with the light smoke from the candles.

Sitting in an arrangement not unlike the expectation for a court meeting, honoured guests in their splendid attire waited. Some of them looked slightly different since they were from different parts of the kingdom or even the world.

One of the men had a turban with many jewels and cloud-like white feathers, plus a lovely golden robe with a purple sash. The boy attendants near him were in similar garb. They all had somewhat darker complexions than most of the men there, not that such a thing was a problem.

The only true problem was the height and width of some women's headdresses. Some people had to move their chairs just to get a proper view, which meant that other people had to move too because their space had been taken. Similar things had happened at court meetings, but it was more obvious here.

Important servants, musicians, and all other kinds of employees were in the main hall, each one either standing by or moving to keep things running well.
