Hello All,
I wanted to provide you all with what transpired when I visited.
Every major town along the Ternian border was bustling. At the largest border crossing between the Empire and Wayside, the vast open plaza on the Ternian side of the gates were host to a massive celebration.
Thousands of humans were milling about, filling the air with an anticipatory hum. The Wall towered above the crowd. The orbs are spaced about ten feet apart around the central gate, but are spread more and more widely as the Wall stretches out in both directions until they disappeared into the distance. The enitity of the Wall is covered in orbs. For hours I wandered among the crowded Ternians.
At the stroke of midnight, the assembled crowd suddenly let out a cheer. I turned toward the direction the crowd was facing and I saw High Chancellor Serranus at the gate, waving to her people; perched halfway up a ladder leaning against the Wall in order to be seen above the crowd. “At last, the great Ternian Wall is complete,” she called out. “By its light let the Empire shine as a beacon of peace and prosperity upon the face of Fortannis. Now see what we can become when united in a common purpose.” She raised one hand, enveloped in a crimson glow; "With Eldritch force I build a light!"
The orbs began to shine with a brilliant red light, starting with the central pair and moving out until the entire wall was illuminated.
The Ternians let out a collective sigh of wonder and contentment.
And that was the ceremony. The official dedication will still happen on New Years.
