Back to Manses
The False Shelter
Perhaps one of the more ridiculous examples of First Age paranoia, there are actually a number of these Manses scattered about hidden places in Creation, although far fewer than there once were. Originally, each was constructed by a powerful Solar manse-architect, Jacun Vell. Vell created his Shelters as a trap, a carefully-designed and cunning system that was designed to hide the location of his true fortress. Twenty-five Shelters were crafted, each in a location that his Solar Tower could transport itself to, each identical in appearance.
Within the tower, the main floor appears to be a large open area. Above the staircase are words in Old Realm, "Welcome To My Friends". If those words are spoken, the Manse immediately explodes as though a Level 4 Demesne had suffered Power Failure. The rest of the Manse is empty. No more than a handful of Manses still exist, most occupied by squatters who do not speak Old Realm.
Game Mechanics
Manse Level 1 (3 Background Points due to Demesne)
Drawbacks: Hearthstone (1), Fragile (1)
Powers:
Password Activated (1): Anyone within the Manse can activate its powers at a word.
Self-Destruct (1): The Manse can be commanded to explode violently. There is no counter-measure.
Essence Vents (1): The Manse sits on top of a Level 4 Demesne, which it harmlessly reroutes.
Comfort Zone (1): Until it explodes, the Shelter is a very nice place to rest.
The False Shelter provides no Hearthstone.
