It did not take very long for that scarce farmland to turn into a fortified forward operating base.
Luvengart's Gatewatch arrived on the scene quickly, sending alerts to all the Guilds and Academies in the city.
A barrier was placed around the Gate and the surrounding arena, cordoning off the Alpha Gate from the curious eyes of the unawakened civilians.
But inside the barrier, tension and excitement was oxygen.
The Gatewatch sat under a canopy, two officials with the crest of Luvengart in their simple gray uniforms.
But the main presence were the three distinct armies standing in formation and eyeing each other with undisguised contempt.
On the right flank stood the Golden Spire Guild.
Their Awakeners were decked out in armor so polished it reflected the sun, glistening with the golden signature of their Guild.
They looked less like soldiers and more like a royal procession.
On the left stood the Heaven's Blade Guild.
