The House DeVeragon was built over five hundred years ago by Gen DeVeragon, after being knighted by King Fredrick Ferris I. The land on which the manor was built on was granted to him by the king as part of his knighting. The manor has been in the family ever since.
The Manor house is surrounded by two feet thick walls made out of stone. The only ways in are to climb, or through the gates. The gates can be picked (with difficulty) but during the day two guards are at the gate, with four more resting in the garden, and at night the same applies but the four in the garden are patrolling the grounds instead.
The room is adorned with paintings, tapestries and a few statues. All the doors in the house are ornately carved in oak. The door is normally unlocked.
The room is completely bare except for a few sparse decorations and a stair case leading up.
There are normally 12 servants scattered throughout the house in the day time, including a chief maid and chief butler. At night they sleep here, together, on six bunk beds. The room has a few paintings, but the servant's possessions are contained in a wardrobe and a chest hidden in the floorboards. They each own 20 gp, but relatively little else. They will ask uninvited guests to leave, raising the six house guards.
The kitchen is where the food is prepared. There is little of value here.
As the name suggests, this is where all the stores are kept, mainly food. There is also a shed where the gardener (one of the twelve servants) keeps all his gardening tools. There is nothing in here that the characters can use as weapons.
This is the Dining Hall. All of the meals are taken here. The room is tastefully decorated as all the others in the house, but also has a long oaken table and a couple of chandeliers.
The library is a personal collection of the uncle's, with a large desk situated in the centre of the room, so it can be used as a study. The walls are lined with shelves, which have books (all non-magical) of every sort imaginable.
Once a guest has been invited in, they are immediately invited into the guest lounge. This room is decorated in a similar fashion to all the others, with its main distinguishing feature being an array of sofas, lounges and seats, with a fire place built into the eastern wall.
The landing is unadorned by decorations, and is only a central point to the level, which leads to all the other rooms. The set of stairs lead down.
These are richly furnished, personalised to the occupant's taste. The rooms are allocated as follows: John (2), Tom (3), Harry (6) and Clare (5). The last room was reserved for a guest.
This room is more lavishly furnished than all the rest, though everything in this room is two big to move. One of the cabinets, which doubles as a safe, contains 50,000 gold pieces worth of gems and jewellery. The safe has a poisoned lock, which must be deactivated before the safe can be opened. This is where the boy's aunt and uncle sleep.
The ancestral home of the Ferris family has undergone some radical changes over the past six hundred years. Though it was originally a castle, a fire five hundred years ago forced the king to rebuild the building. After losing his daughter, the king was listless, and so did not put all his energy into the reconstruction of the castle. The end result was a cross between a castle and a manor house.
The room is tastefully decorated with a plethora of paintings and tapestries. All the doors in the house are ornately carved in oak. This is the crux of the whole level, and leads to other places in the house. except for the guest lounge. The room is dominated by a marble staircase leading up.
This is the dining hall, and is where the main meals are served. The room is tastefully decorated with banners and shields, and also has a long oaken table and a couple of chandeliers.
The kitchen is where the food is prepared. There are normally six servants in the house, either cleaning, cooking or serving. They will not attack anyone, but will politely ask uninvited guest to leave.

These are richly furnished, but have little in the way of personal items. Each of these rooms are kept very clean.
This room is more lavishly furnished than all the rest, though everything in this room is two big to move. One of the cabinets doubles as a safe, which is firmly locked. This is where Den sleeps.
This room is furnished in a similar fashion to "4. Master Bedroom", and is where Den's wife used to sleep.
These are the rooms in which Julia and her two brothers sleep. Julia has a room to her own (6) and the brother share a room (7) because they are identical twins and do not like being separated.
