Branch Houses
WIPChateau d'Fortescue
Chateau d'Fortescue is a manor house located on the east side of Glassridge District, surrounded by the marble gardens of House Fortescue. Visitors are rarely permitted entry, and typically only on matters of strict business. The house itself is wider than it is tall, with only two stories (in addition to the cellar and the attic), and was built with a mind towards symmetry and proportion. It has ashlar walls of white brick and a dark slate-shingled roof with several chimneys rising out of it. The windows are evenly-spaced, and it is difficult to tell from the outside what the actual layout of the rooms inside might be.Veritas Valet
