Main Mansion, Synders Estate.
Ten minutes passed since the family's passing.
At one corner of the main hall, an axe was attached to the wall. It was simple without any magical or extraordinary traits.
Just beside it, an intricate circle was drawn. It was the alarm circle, that would send signals to all the neighbouring estates and also the Citadel.
Seven points on the circle were bleeping, flashing red lights. Each corresponded to the incoming emergency signals from the neighbouring noble houses. The spots represented the coordinates with the mansion at the centre.
It was time to set off this alarm as well.
