Eastmeadow Manor

Eastmeadow Manor is a three-story structure that was built with fairly thick stone walls and small windows on the ground floor to make it more defensible due to its location outside of town. The manor is home to the Lindwyne family and their three servants.

Lady Evelina Lindwyne (graceful, tactical, clever) is a stern but fair head of the family in her late 50s. She has a reputation for her tactical and strategic prowess. A former knight of the realm, now retired, she has maintained the family lands with honour and unwavering dedication.

Sir Cedric Lindwyne (shrewd, diplomatic) is Lady Evelina’s husband, a lean man in his early 50s known for his shrewd diplomacy and management skills. He oversees the household and the family’s social engagements with wit and style.

Lady Aria Lindwyne (blonde, stout, powerful) is the eldest daughter at 28 years old and is a decorated warrior and adventurer in her own right. She is off on adventure about a quarter of the time.

Master Reginald Lindwyne (muscular, skinny, obsessed) is the youngest child at 22 years of age. He is a budding sorcerer with an affinity for ancient magics dating back to the lost empire of the Serpent Lands. His keen interest in the lost empire and its sorceries leads him to exhort his sister into helping him seek out artifacts and texts from the ruins to the south.

The ground floor of the manor is all for entertaining and study – a greeting room with elevated seats at one end when greeting new guests. There are sitting and music rooms here as well as the library at the base of the tower (with stairs down to the basements – which will be detailed in another post).

The second level contains the dining room, upper hall, a crafting room, and Master Reginald’s bedroom in the tower. The east side of this floor serves as the servants’ wing with their common room and the household kitchen.

The third floor is smaller than the other two, with terraces extending across the roofs of the rest of the structure. This level is home to Lady Aria’s chamber in the tower, and the principal bedroom beyond it.

Hooks:

A Sorcerer in Need: Master Reginald Lindwyne seeks the assistance of skilled adventurers to help recover and uncover the secrets of a magical artifact that they’ve isolated through their extensive research and magic.

Missing Heirloom: The family heirloom, a powerful relic from Lady Evelina’s adventuring days, has been stolen. The Lindwynes are offering a generous reward for its retrieval.

Ancient Library: Thanks to Master Reginald’s obsessions, the manor houses a small library of rare and ancient tomes that could hold the key to a mystery or quest the adventurers are pursuing.

Diplomatic Task: Lord Cedric Lindwyne needs emissaries to deliver a delicate message to a neighbouring lord or to broker a truce between feuding nobles.

Festival of Eastmeadow: The Lindwyne family is hosting a grand festival, attracting nobles and adventurers alike, providing opportunities for networking, alliances, and uncovering hidden plots.

Lady Aria’s Challenge: Lady Aria Lindwyne is organizing a grand tournament to find the best warriors in the land. Participation could bring glory, riches, and powerful allies – this is likely combined with the Festival of Eastmeadow above.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 7,800 x 13,200 pixels (26 x 44 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for the recommended 10‘ squares that make sense with the furniture scale) – so resizing the image to 1,820 x 3,080 pixels or 3,640 x 6,160 pixels, respectively.
