Blackthorn Manor, a harem of monsters

- Blackthorn Manor – Settled deep within the vast forest, the Blackthorn Manor looms over the land like a forgotten nightmare. Its weathered stone walls are veined with ivy, the once-grand windows now shattered. The twisted iron gates shriek on rusted hinges, their spikes bent like the fingers of a grasping corpse.

• Church House & Graveyard – Behind the manor lies a small church house which overlooks a graveyard and mausoleum. The church is decrepit and worn, now only a sanctuary for cobwebs.

• Underground Caves – Beneath the mansion, a network of caves yawns open, their jagged mouths exhaling a damp, fungal stench. Strange phosphorescent fungi cling to the walls, casting an eerie glow over ancient, half-collapsed tunnels.

• Black Cove – Beyond the mansion, a vast, black cove stretches into the mist, its surface unnervingly still. The water reflects no stars, as if it drinks the very light from the sky.

• Surrounding Forest & Ravine – Surrounding the manor on all sides is a dense forest of black trees and thick thorny brush. The forest hides a deep cavernous ravine that howls when the wind blows through; if you were not careful, you could walk right over the brush-obscured precipice.
