Gulool Ja Ja summoned the claimants: The First Promise, Zoraal Ja, a blue-scaled Hoobigo; The Second Promise, Koana, a green-haired bespectacled Hhetsarro; The Third Promise, Wuk Lamat, a red-headed Xbr'aal; and Bakool Ja Ja, a two-headed Mamool Ja. He explained the history of the rite and the reasons behind his decisions.
Yadokkya noted that all claimants had company, except the Second Promise. Was he competing alone, they wondered…
"Now you have us to compete against! Though it seems the one-head was already too afraid to face us in the tournament!" Bakool Ja Ja taunted the First Promise.
Zoraal Ja did not react.
"Our brother was in Xak Tural, leading the Landsguard on a campaign to eradicate a tural vidraal." Koana spoke up on behalf of his brother. He lowered his voice and added, mockingly, "Anyone with sense would know he was too busy for games." He shrugged.
Bakool Ja Ja scowled at the rebuttal, and the affront to his intelligence.
Yadokkya stifled a laugh as they watched the exchange. Clearly his attempts at intimidation didn't land in this crowd. They continued observing the competition as Gulool Ja Ja laid out the plans for the rite.

#8DaysofKoana2025 Day 1: First Meeting
I'd say gathering for the start of the rite was the first meeting, although they didn't talk to each other yet.
