Hall of The Voices
Nestled just beneath the waves, close to the shore, the Hall of the Voices emerges as a majestic underwater edifice, its architecture seamlessly merging with the vibrant marine environment. Both coral formations and handiwork of the first generation of Crafters adorn its surfaces, painting it in hues that rival the most splendid sunsets. Inside, you will find a vast hall, its walls made from onyxes and bluish stones adorned with the meticulous handiwork of the most accomplished Crafters, showcasing intricate creations that seamlessly blend with the aquatic world. These creations serve a dual purpose, being both functional and artistic in nature. Though as an outsider, I sometimes failed to grasp what purpose they might present.
The Hall of the Voices serves as a sanctuary of governance for the Encurian people. It is within these walls that the esteemed council of the Voices convenes, deliberating and deciding upon matters that shape the course of their island nation. Here, the currents carry the weight of decisions, while the wisdom of the chosen representatives echoes through the azure chambers.
The significance of this grand structure extends beyond its role in governance. In moments when the council chambers remain unoccupied by the sessions of the day, the hall transforms into a bustling hub of communal interaction.
It is divided into four distinct sections, each dedicated to a particular Shoal. Sunlight filtering through the water's embrace illuminates the bustling scene, where Encurans from all walks of life converge upon this spacious chamber, drawn by the opportunity to present their desires and appeals.
All requests are presented to the officials delegated by the Voices. Then, said representatives carefully assess them and, if the problem or issue is deemed to be something which the Council should deal with, it is passed on to them. However, if the matter can be handled by someone else, the request will be added to the list. These problems are then dealt with by hired people, be it a citizen or outsider willing to help.
