This estate is located in west central An Morendor, south of the Silverload River. The mountains are nestled against the east side of the estate with the River a short walk north.
A great house with deep walls of logs and stone and four chimneys thrust up like pillars with two towers at either corner, sits with its face amidst a meadow and its cheeks flanked by looming outcrops of boulders and towering stands of hardwoods. The giants spread their leafy arms wide to the wild north meadows; and the fragrant orchards, gardens, and livestock in them, a breath of domestication mingling with the untamed mountain primeval. The Silverload river runs leaping over falls and rock beds from the north, spilling into deep pools and over them in creeks; one rivulet bounds south from it into the east yard and fills a bathing pool, where the shade garden springs verdant around winding paths of sand and smooth creek pebbles. Behind the garden the mountain thrusts up infinitely like a great wall to cast deeper shadows and long they stretch in the morn.
Indoors; cool rooms with grey walls of stone and cold indigos, silver furs, and blue-grey trappings welcome those who enter from the heat. while on cool nights warmer rooms of amber logs are brightened by Warm colored furs, drapes and furniture. The shade without and breeze from the mountains and bold creek fills the house with the relief of cool drafts of air. A wide screened in door yawns open to immense shade trees over a wide deck and the east garden. The entrance is spanned by open pastures, stables, paddocks, and orchards, while the panoramic east porch and plane south door spilled into dark, ancient forest. The southeast tower from basement to belfry and the three floors in between are the quarters of the estate's master, Melchaiah.

"When I went to Victor and asked him not to move my estate, he was hesitant, but agreed on the condition that I permit him find me another home. It was magnificent. A wide, roofed porch wrapped around a large stone manor, and the east deck overlooked a natural lake and the mountain river which filled it. The way the willow trees reflected on the tranquil, mist shrouded water felt like where I wanted my heart to be."
"I still missed the home I had built in the wilds though. When I had not long fled my people all those years ago, and saw that mountain valley land, the river which ran wild through it, and the ancient forest hemming in the meadows; I knew I was home. I could not bear for Lilith's shadow to force me to abandon that land and the friends I had made there, be they goblins, elves, dragons, or men. I just couldn't. Victor understood."
