The manors stand proud, yet lifeless. Black iron gates, bat-shaped door knockers, and lanterns whose flames never quite go out. The air tastes of iron and perfume. No barking dogs, no laughter of children — only the whisper of silk curtains and the scratch of a quill somewhere behind closed doors.
Inside, the houses reveal their true splendor: high ceilings, marble floors, dark wood paneling, and rooms that feel like memories from centuries past. Dining halls where no one eats. Music rooms filled with harp-stringed shadows. Libraries whose books are bound in forgotten tongues.
Beneath the elegance lingers a colder note — blood rituals in private chapels, hidden coffins in studies, symbols of ancient pacts etched into the walls. Every chamber is a stage, every gesture part of the grand masquerade of the undying.
This map depicts Gravecrown Hollow’s noble district — the luxurious estates of vampires, their retainers, and those foolish enough to think wealth protects them from the dark. Split into two levels: the ground floor with reception halls, parlors, and candlelit salons; and the upper floor, where the residents take their long, silent rest.
