As the sun went down and people began getting off of their work, the Elder's Hall released an official statement.
A Celebratory Ceremony.
Almost every Velmourn had seen the Men of the Watch moving from the West to the East Coast and then marching back to the Wall. Those who did not see it themselves had heard about it.
This was the first time the Velmourn Army had moved in such a manner, so every Velmourn was tense.
People knew something big was about to happen—or had happened—so they were waiting for the Elder's Hall to release an official statement.
The environment was tense. The people were still working, but their expressions today were far grimmer.
And in such a tense environment, when a sudden statement informing the people of the Celebratory Ceremony was released—
The people were obviously confused.
Not that they cared.
It had been a long time since something like this had happened, so the people saw it for what it was.
A celebration.
And prepared themselves.
