(10 days before the fight, The First Elder's POV)
It took the Elder's Council forty-six days of intense debate after the fight between Leo and Aegon Veyr was announced to finalize the venue, the rules, the officiating referee, the ticket pricing, and every other logistical concern that came attached with an event of this magnitude.
This delay was mostly caused by the unwillingness of either camp to compromise or even engage in proper communication with the other, as neither side wanted to appear weak or conceding after their huge internal brawl following the previous Council meeting.
With every elder prioritizing personal pride over practical execution, even the simplest decisions devolved into full-scale arguments that required dozens of clarifications and redrafts before they could be passed.
The venue came first.
