Lord Aiden's Mansion
Lord Aiden's Mansion is a large, old mansion in the middle of the forest few days of travel away from Fairhaven.
The mansion is invisible from the outside, and can only be entered by solving the Forest Tile Puzzle. Casual travelers who don't know what to look for, are likely to miss it entirely.
The area around the mansion is shrouded by magical spell which makes the sky permanently overcast, and permitting no direct sunlight. As a result all the vegetation in forest, as well as the garden surrounding the mansion is dead.
The mansion is surrounded by a magical wall about 7 feet tall that cannot be scaled. The wall has a single gate, protected by Magical Puzzle Lock. A correct password must be entered on the lock using the Paragon Alphabet characters in order to open it.
The magically shrouded forest around the mansion is home to Leafless Ents.
The Lifeless Garden is located inside of the walls. The Garden Gnome, a protective magical construct, guards the courtyard and the entrance to the mansion.
The mansion rafters are home to many bats. They appear to be able to travel through gaps and holes in the walls, and open windows, and have the full reign of the mansion.
The main foyer of the mansion features stuffed Owlbear trophies, and a huge portrait of the Drakenhoff family.
For a long time it was home of Count Drakenhoff and his vampire progeny.
The mansion's current residents include:
The upper floor of the mansion features a study with two Magical Tapestry Portals. One of these leads directly to Lord Aiden's Study and requires one of the Key Stones to enter. The other leads to the Extraplanar Portal Hub.
There is also another room upstairs that contains a disabled Teleportation Circle.
