The Estate

The Estate was a large complex that once sat outside an ancient city mentioned in myth and legend. The Estate was built by the servants of Livena, men and women who came to her seeking answers to their riddles and puzzles. Legend say that the tradition started with men coming to seek Livena's hand in marriage and that she told them that she would marry whoever brought her a puzzle she could not solve, but any she could answer would owe her one year of servitude. Many people came for the novelty, or even just out of desperation for a place to have their needs taken care of.

The Estate itself was said to be a massive complex, with many parts being built either underground or even in other pocket dimensions. Livena was a master of almost all the magic arts, and experimented in them, so she had places reserved for creatures of different climates and even planes. She even made use of the necromatic arts.

The entire Estate was also self sufficient. Servants could travel to and fro, going all across the world in search of everything their mistress needed. A massive garden grew plants of all sorts to provide food for the mistress and her servants. There was even said to be a series of pipes and water ways that used non-magical means to move water even to the top of the Livena's personal tower. The estate even had a massive library where Livena would send her scholar servants to gather information she needed.

The stories and myths do not tell us what specifically happened to the Estate. Livena, after almost 200 years of life, was taken into the heavens by Canus and became a god in her own right. When he did so, the estate and the hill it was built stayed the home of her servants for a few decades, but after they had left, the estate mysteriously disappeared one day.

While the name of the city the estate was built near has been lost, many speculate that the ruins of the city of Marbre on the southern coast of the western continent is the city mentioned in the legends. It is certainly surrounded by hills, and right outside of the ruins is a strange dip in a land otherwise dominated by rising landforms. The area is now more popular because of the pilgrimage to the original resting place of the hero Leon.

Centuries after it's mysterious disappearance, the estate was rediscovered on a island of the coast of Helder. The Island appeared one night, and several adventurers made their way to it before it again vanished from the face of Crepus. On the Island the adventurers found a jumble of rooms and corridors shifting about.
