Before you stands a grand old manor, framed by huge willows to the east and west. The elegant trees sway gently in the moonlight, dappling the cobblestone courtyard with ever-shifting patterns of light and dark.

Before you stands a grand old manor, framed by huge willows to the east and west. The elegant trees sway gently in the moonlight, dappling the cobblestone courtyard with ever-shifting patterns of light and dark. Snippets of conversation drift away from the long porch stretching along the full width of the great old house, as several guests enjoy the hospitality and ambience of this fine hideaway. You also see the Melindria disk, a hollow tree stump and the porch steps.
Also here: Cadsreel, a stunned Ragesh who is lying down, Vivaldi, Jaganoth, Belnia, Lord Briars who is sitting, Kesirina
