"Lying is a cooperative act. Think about it, a lie has no power whatsoever by its mere utterance; its power emerges when someone else agrees to believe the lie." — Pamela Meyer

Inside the grand guild headquarters of the Ascendant Order, nestled in the heart of Lunathel, the elite members of the guild gathered for a crucial meeting before the commencement of their campaign. 

A group of nearly twenty people, united in their purpose, was sitting at a long table, with their vice guild leader at the head of the table.

Asher, a man in his thirties, was a vision of refinement and charm. His striking features and charismatic aura had swiftly propelled him up the guild's ranks without a hint of controversy. 

Three seats to the right of the head of the table, a frail woman who appeared to be in her fifties spoke with a respectful and experienced voice.
