The deep blue silk overhead has been painted to resemble the night sky, complete with moons.  Bronze lanterns dangle from the tent posts, creating pools of soft, flickering light.  Gold and blue velvet cushions heaped in the corners provide quiet places to rest.  You also see a bright copper cart with some stuff on it.
Also here: Squire Legionnaire Ziria, High Legionnaire Kakoon, Lady Qiana, Lord Legionnaire Commander Jaranzair, First Legionnaire Esana

Jaranzair strides back to his station at the entrance.

Speaking in Elven to Qalinor, Lucrecea says, "Of course, your Liege.  I am still confused as to why I was forcefully disarmed after complying by wearing my fan."
