Country Manor Estate

Estate of Gracht

The Estate of Gracht sprawls across dense woodland framed by towering iron-grey rocks, where wind whispers through black-barked trees and shadows pool in the damp undergrowth. A gothic manor looms in the distance—dripping stone, torchlit crenellations, and a forbidding portcullis guarding secrets. The woodland garden where Romana walks lies at the estate’s heart, a secluded hollow of moss-slick flagstones and skeletal statues, where cultivated manicure clashes with feral wildness. This is Grendel’s domain: a place of twist-walks and hidden clearings, where beasts prowl unseen and hospitality doubles as coercion.
