 Apólyá opened the doors to reveal the main entry hall, a few more acolytes and faithful servants gathered there.

They seemed to leave a path leading to the massive Grand Hall. As they entered the Grand Hall a few dozen people were in the next room, although the amount of people was greatly dwarfed by the room's immense size.

 Apólyá stood on a slightly raised platform so that his followers could see him and started addressing the people in the room. "Drem Yol Lok all, as some of you have heard, we have ourselves a guest visiting our beautiful home. Let us show her our respect and good nature."

The people whooped and cheered.

 Apólyá held his arms up for silence. "With this announcement comes with warning as well. If anyone is to intend harm to our guest, they will have the choice to either be locked in the divide or stranded on Cryotola peak for three days."

There were hushed murmurs about the severity of these punishments and how serious he was about that rule.

 "I will ask that you treat her with kindness and do not crowd her. You are released from this gathering."

With that some people left to resume their important schedules as messengers, others lingered and watched Apólyá move back over to Echo. A small group of maids gathered around the winter deity and began to compliment her.
