The arrival of the Multiversal Council delegation was inevitable. When a being achieved what Elias had achieved, the powers that organized cosmic governance had to respond.
They materialized outside his pocket dimension—nine of the most powerful Multiversal Beings in existence, each one a legend in their own right. They had requested an audience, and Elias, curious about their intentions, had granted it.
The delegation was led by Vez'thak, the ancient being who had attempted to offer gifts after Aria's birth. He was joined by other luminaries: Mor'dain of the stellar form, Zy'kara the crystalline, and fourteen others whose names were spoken with reverence across a thousand realities.
"Lord Elias Vance," Vez'thak began formally, his 89% Reality Law comprehension lending weight to his words. "We come representing the Multiversal Council, an organization dedicated to maintaining balance and order across all realities."
