Rage

Shock didn't just pervade the Mercenary Guild, it felt as though the whole of the Circle of Elites fell into an eerie silence. Though many didn't know exactly what happened, anyone bold enough to start a fight in the middle of Valor City wasn't to be trifled with. To make matters worse, their valiant City Lord, who would have normally acted immediately, showed no signs of moving.

City Lord Valor was a man who took no nonsense. Seeing the City Lord Manor remain as silent as the partially crowded streets, many more intelligent people slowly backed away, completely unwilling to get involved.

This wasn't a place where normal civilians gathered, it was the Circle of Elites for a reason. It was obvious why they didn't immediately react with stereotypical screaming and crying such destruction usually brought about.
