The reception hall in the Archduke's manor was a space that epitomized the aristocratic nature of House de Lanark. Designed to impress important guests, its ample dimensions could accommodate large numbers, but the open floor plan was cleverly divided into different sections for seating, mingling, and entertainment, making it suitable even for smaller gatherings.
Emanuel de Lanark took his seat on a plush leather chair, positioned between the Archduke on his right and Lady de Lanark on his left. The Commander of the First Order and his platoon leaders stood a step behind. The hall was encircled by royal guards, their resplendent golden armor contrasting with the rich burgundy color of the walls.
