Marble Hill Manor

Thergrin Cannith lived in Kalazart most of his life before traveling throughout Khorvaire under House Cannith's protection. The family mansion, a strong building of white stone and marble columns, hides spacious rooms filled with schematics and magical experiments. The domestics - various mechanical and magical automatons - treated their hosts with respect and obeyed their masters with unflinching haste. Since the Day of the Mourning, the manor has been deserted.

The First Floor was made to accommodate large receptions. The Main Hall is well decorated with paintings of the owners, Thergrin and his parents, and multiple doors give access to the different rooms. These rooms have parchments and books piled and scattered everywhere - schematics, blueprints, notes.

The Second Floor was the private living quarter of the family. Multiple large chambers are set across the storey linked by a few well decorated corridors. A glass observatory was installed at the front of the floor by Sadrula Cannith a few years after their arrival in order to observe and study the Ring of Siberys.

The basement is the most important part of the mansion. It hides a long corridor with many doors on both sides. These doors lead to many more laboratories, experiment rooms, studies and libraries. The wanted room can be selectioned and summoned with a simple combination of three runes. The room is then mechanically moved to the appropriate door. Twice as many rooms are kept in "storage" under the mansion, waiting to be called forth by the masters.

A few years after the beginning of the war, the houses were protected by unwritten rules and pacts, but there were always those who thought themselves above the others. An assassination attempt on the housemaster of the time was foiled by Sadrula. Thergrin came home to a patrol of guards that claimed that his parents were cut down mercilessly while protecting the housemaster. 

Thergin then barely set foot in his house. Always on the run for new experimental ideas or field tests, the genius inventor directed the anger and pain of his great lost into his infamous master piece: The Warforged.

After the Treaty of Thronehold was signed and peace officially declared, Thergrin eventually found himself back in Kalazart. His home was now nothing more than a building filled with automatons, scattered parchments of notes and painful memories.
