The town home two doors east of Trollskull Manor on Saerdoun Street is impressive to say the least.
The façade is freshly painted, the windows are so clean they gleam in the sunlight or moonlight and the front door is carved with a pattern that suggests vines and whole clusters of grapes. The knocker resembles an inverted goblet.
