The Vineyards Estate of House V'neef
Wood Aspected Manse ••••
The Vineyards Estate - officially on the Imperial records as the Ebony Hall of Verdance Resplendent - is a massive manse. Its walls are constructed of green-jade-inset ebony that retains a highly lustrous sheen, with swathes of ivy growing up its grand walls. It is vast and palatial, with a central house and four separate towered wings that branch off of it.
The Ebony Hall was one of the Empress' favored country estates in the early days of the Scarlet Empire, and she retained personal control of it for most of her time on the throne. She retired here to give birth to V'neef, and sequestered herself in these halls for the first five years of V'neef's life, formally moving her court here.
