Tresendar Manor

More a castle than a house, Tresendar Manor stands at the east edge of town on a low hillside. It is one of the largest buildings in Malginess, and was once inhabited by the Tresendar family. The ancient manor has long been abandoned. The cellars once served as a safe haven when the estate was attacked. It also serves as a resting place for the deceased members of the Tresendar family.

Location

The manor is located at the end of Malginess' main eastern road, just beyond the Sleeping Giant tavern. The path leading to the manor is curvy and elevated by one hill on top of another, unlike the rest of the village.

Architecture

Ruined from the outside, the manor still stands, but clearly in a poor, unmaintained state. It appears much more like a castle than a simple place of dwelling. The floors are made of flagstone and the walls are well-made stone blocks.

The manor contains several rooms, and a stone staircase that leads to a large cellar, which was used to store food and drink. There is also a crypt that is used as a place of rest for family members who had passed away. Several oil lamps were used to light up each room. The doors are made of wood and the handles of iron.

History

In 4360, orcs swarmed the caverns below the manor. Though he fought off many of the brutal creatures, Aldith Tresendar was slain, and his enchanted longsword, Talon, was lost to the ages.
