Three Fold Symphony
Earth/ Wood/ Water Aspected Manse
Level 3
This manse has one level one hearthstone of each of its featured elements in different chambers of the Hearthstone room. It lies broken and forgotten near the edge of the Black Chase, and its "Key" lies near the center of the same. The Three Fold Symphony was created in the First Age and enjoyed use through that era until the Contagion. The manse had been a converted to a Shogunate fall back point because its hidden nature (it's 2 days journey thru a riverside cave by boat) made it perfect for lying low and planning a counter assault. Then the Dragon Blooded commander who was garrisoned there contracted the Contagion. He hid his condition from his troops for as long as he could, but when it was found out it was too late… The mortals were already past help and the Dragon Bloods were no better off. There was a long bloody mutiny in the manse, and in the end one Dragon Blooded soldier by the name of Sherak Zinn lived. He buried his former unit in the recesses of Three Fold Symphony in the hopes of one day returning and giving them a proper burial .He used his sorcery to protect the key with "Flesh Automotons" and designed an altar that would resist the elements to house it. He wandered for some time only to learn that he was also infected, and then he found it a village. It was small, and the people didn't seem to be affected by the fact that he was a plague carrier. They treated him as best they could but in the end it was not enough. The soldier died, but not before telling the villagers (who he had found to be immune to the Contagion) of all that had happened at the manse, hoping someone could get word to the Shogunate to bury his fellow soldiers and know of their fate. But alas, the villagers were only mortal, and the Shogunate was no more.
Layout:
The rooms in Three Fold Symphony are all spheres with a floor bisecting it. Furniture "grows" from the floor organically. The composition inside the Manse is highly polished green/grey stone that looks slick and wet.
Key Description
The key is the Imperial Mon carved from a single piece of magically fused jade of all five colors
