Raventree Hall
Raventree has high, ancient stone walls with moss climbing up them. There are two huge, square towers flanking the gate and a square tower at each angle in the wall. It is also defended by a deep moat lined with stone. Inside the walls are a muddy outer ward and a cavernous timber keep. Lord Otho Bracken's solar is large and airy, with great beams of dark oak. Wool tapestries adorn its walls, while latticework doors with panes of diamond-shaped yellow glass overlook the godswood. It contains a high-backed chair. The castle's godswood contains a dead, ancient weirwood of colossal size. Every evening at dusk hundreds of ravens come and roost all night on the dead weirwood as they have for thousands of years. A nearby rise overlooking a stream gives a view of two of Raventree's gates. Otho Bracken and his family spend the majority of their time at this castle, instead of their ancestral home of Stone Hedge. This maybe because it's a larger castle but also because it the ancestral home of their extinct rivals, House Blackwood.
