7. Langmuir Manor

This stately manor house presides over Etterboak Town Square. The manor itself is old, although it shows sign of recent restoration. The doors to the manor are flanked by two of the House Langmuir Guard, a human and a half-elf.   From the outside this house looks impressive. It has been built with poplar wood and has blue stone decorations. Tall, large windows add to the overall style of the house and have been added to the house in a fairly symmetrical pattern.   The tower extension extends into wooden overhanging panels circling around half the house. The second floor is the same size as the first, but part of it hangs over the edge of the floor below, creating an overhang on one side and a balcony on the other. This floor has a slightly different style than the floor below.   The roof is low, triangular, but one side is longer than the other and is covered with red roof tiles. One small chimney sits at the side of the house. There are no windows on the roof. The house itself is surrounded by a modest garden, covered mostly in grass, a few flower patches and with a small pond.
House Langmuir Manor, the esteemed residence of Lord Ludovic Langmuir, stands as a symbol of nobility and tradition in the township of Etterboek. Overseeing the town square, this stately manor reflects the power and influence of House Langmuir within the Verbobonc, Viscounty.
