She recognized their leader, a portly human woman in Red and Black robes. That was the Grand Exarch, the most powerful religious leader in the city.

“Welcome, your excellency. We thank you for your timely response.”
“Well, when the council calls, we all listen, from the Grand Exarch of Illuminora to the lowliest of us.” Her eyes fell on Sivallien and her entourage as she enunciated the end of her sentence.
