The Judgment of the Redcliffe Family
Deep beneath the Redcliffe Mansion lay a hidden council chamber, sealed away behind layers of enchanted stone and ancient defensive formations. Isolated from the outside world, it had served as the family's most secure meeting place for generations.
A massive circular table dominated the center of the chamber.
The air was unusually heavy.
Every elder of the Redcliffe Family had gathered, yet no one seemed eager to speak.
Some sat with thoughtful expressions, their brows furrowed in contemplation.
Others looked visibly uneasy, still haunted by the events they had witnessed on the battlefield the previous day.
The image of that overwhelming display of power lingered vividly in their minds.
At the head of the table sat Ramona Redcliffe.
