The Residence is a compact but carefully furnished home separated from the surrounding world by water and stone. Interior rooms use warm timber, rugs and domestic furniture, while the isolated setting makes the building feel private rather than part of a crowded town. The small footprint keeps every room relevant and makes entry, exit and control of the house immediately important.

For a GM, it works well for a confrontation in a place that was never meant to be a battlefield. Doors and furnishings break movement into close quarters, while the exterior boundary prevents easy retreat or reinforcement. In Kingmaker's Curse of the Lantern King material, the location can function as a deliberately intimate contrast to the campaign's larger wilderness and kingdom-scale maps. Outside that context, it is useful as an isolated noble retreat, suspicious riverside home or private meeting place.
