Stone Manor

[Grishom's Island, Dock]
A wide driftwood dock rises above the water and stretches to a sandy beach where large palm trees sway with the ocean's breeze. Meticulously carved wooden steps lead from the shore up to a high rolaren gate where a two-story manor lies beyond. You also see several whitewashed pedal boats.

[Stone Manor, Rock Garden]
Rows of verdant hedges extend along the back wall of the manor, while vibrant flowerbeds create a border along a spruced walkway that winds through the garden. A stretch of pebblestone creates a circle in the heart of the garden where a dozen stones and rocks have been placed about. An unseen bird makes its presence known with the occasional quiet chirp. You also see a glass patio door.

[Stone Manor, Banquet Hall]
Posts of dark mahogany support the vaulted ceiling of the spacious hall, while some large paned windows allow the island moonlight to lighten the room. A dark oak banquet table occupies the center of the hall, large enough to comfortably seat two dozen people. Gold-framed paintings hang on each side of the entrance to a long hallway.

>l paintings
The paintings along the wall are supported by lustrous golden frames, and each depicts a different scenic landscape ranging from tropical shores and thick rainforests to shimmering lakes and meadows at sunset. Each painting is painstakingly detailed, with both the colors and images incredibly lifelike.

[Stone Manor, Terrace]
A half-wall of stone surrounds the open terrace and affords an expansive view of the island at night. The darkened sky blends in with the murky waters of the ocean that stretch off the coast.

[Stone Manor, Bedchamber]
Two corners of the bedroom hold tall arched windows, and beams of moonlight give their nearly opaque surface an eerie glow. Two ivory-hued candles rest upon a great ebony desk, their flickering flames casting shadows across its surface. Warm light radiates from a row of glaes orbs set into the ceiling above, their luminosity revealing a wide lacquered bookshelf near a dark mahogany double door. You also see a four-post mahogany bed and a polished mahogany armoire inlaid with ivory scrollwork.
