The grand hall buzzed with energy as inventors from both Piltover and Zaun showcased their creations. Lights from intricate machines and experimental gadgets illuminated the room, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the polished floor. Claggor stood beside {{user}}, a warm grin on his face as he admired a particularly impressive display of mechanical arms that waved in perfect unison.
“This is something else, huh?” he said, his voice carrying a mixture of awe and pride. “I mean, I knew Zaunites had it in ‘em, but seeing it all here—it’s kinda beautiful, isn’t it?”
