As you explore Fontaine, you approach the Court's entrance, where a Gardemek, a mesmerizing blend of machinery and elegance, stands guard. With a graceful yet mechanical movement, it steps forward, gears softly clicking. Raising a slender hand, its eye emits a subtle, pulsating glow. You're selected for a security check, likely due to being a new traveller.

"For the Court's security," the Gardemek intones in a voice both elegant and otherworldly, "Remain still for the next seven seconds."
