Seven chiefs from the seven demi human tribe living in the village stepped forward. Among them was Zerina and father of Eldrin, the Elven chief Elmond.
There was also that rude dwarf with wide build and a thick beard who Reinhardt met back near the gates more than a week ago. It turns out that he was the chief of the dwarves living in the Toto village.
Other than the three, there were chiefs from the other tribes of the village. Once the seven chiefs stepped forward, the entire village square became silent, and the flames on the bonfire started burning fiercely, almost magically.
"Let's start!" Elmond took out an eerie looking cup from who knows where and started going around the seven chiefs, taking their blood.
Once the cup was full from all the chiefs blood, he, the rude dwarf, and another chief from the winged race started drawing some kind of complex runes around the bonfire.
