Eginton is a small and quaint rural town, often considered a good prospect for retirement. However, it is eager to hide the rather dark reputation of having one of the highest murder-rates in Udeluppa. The local constabulary is often overwhelmed by the complexity and frequency of the crimes, and if it were not for a few local amateur sleuths, most would go unsolved, particularly since they are entirely unrelated murders by different perpetrators. A few sociologists have speculated that the reason for the crimes may be down to an unspoken social hierarchy, bored retirees, and potentially a supernatural anomaly. However, the latter is unconfirmed by Voidwatch.
