Spoiler: Abansige Estate

The Outer Gatehouse - Wætlingport: As travelers approach the estate, they are greeted by Wætlingport, the outer gatehouse guarding the entrance to Erseric's familial estate. Massive stone walls rise on either side of the sturdy wooden gate, adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes of Eronidas fighting giant monsters. Two towering watchtowers flank the gate, their battlements manned by vigilant guards who keep a watchful eye on all who pass. A heavy iron portcullis hangs suspended above the entrance, ready to be lowered at a moment's notice to seal off the manor from any would-be intruders. Atop the gatehouse flies the standard of Erseric's adoptive father, proudly proclaiming his noble lineage to all who approach.

The Courtyard - Bærlicweard: Beyond the gatehouse lies Bærlicweard, the sprawling courtyard at the heart of Wyrdswyðe. black stone paths crisscross the expanse, leading to various outbuildings and gardens that surround the central keep. To one side, stables house a nobleman's prized steeds, their sleek coats gleaming in the sunlight as grooms tend to their needs. On the other side, a lush orchard bursts with the vibrant colors of ripe fruit, while a tranquil pond teems with colorful koi fish. At the center of it all stands a grand fountain, its waters cascading gracefully into a pool adorned with marble statues of ancient heroes and mythical creatures.

The Main Keep - Ealdorburg: Rising proudly above the courtyard is Ealdorburg, the main keep of the estate and residence of Erseric's adoptive father Alaric Abansige. Constructed of weathered stone and crowned with crenelated battlements, the keep exudes an air of imposing grandeur. Inside, richly tapestried halls echo with the footsteps of servants as they go about their duties while roaring hearths ward off the chill of winter nights. The great hall serves as the heart of the keep, where feasts are held in honor of visiting dignitaries and important guests. Lavish chambers furnished with sumptuous silks and ornate furniture provide luxurious accommodations for the lord and his family, and a private library houses a vast collection of ancient tomes and manuscripts.

The Gardens - Wuduweard: Surrounding Ealdorburg are the lush gardens named as Wuduweard, a tranquil oasis of natural beauty and serenity. Flowering shrubs and towering trees form shady groves where songbirds flit among the branches, their sweet melodies filling the air. Stone pathways wind their way through the verdant landscape, leading to secluded alcoves and hidden clearings where one can find solitude and contemplation. Aromatic herbs and medicinal plants thrive in carefully tended beds, tended to by skilled gardeners who ply their trade with loving care. In the center of the gardens stands a majestic oak tree, its ancient boughs spreading wide to provide shade to those who seek refuge beneath its branches. A place that the young knight would find comfort and listen to the heartbeart of his mother.

The Training Grounds - Gefylð: Beyond the gardens lies Gefylð, the training grounds where Erseric honed his skills under the watchful eye of his adoptive father. Here, knights clad in shining armor spar with one another, their swords flashing in the sunlight as they practice their swordplay and martial prowess. Archers line up along the firing range, their arrows flying true as they hone their marksmanship under the guidance of seasoned veterans. In a nearby arena, knights and guards of the estate test their mettle, their weaponry clashing against one another in a display of skill and bravery. Surrounding the training grounds are barracks and armories, where soldiers prepare for battle and knights tend to their mounts. It is here, amidst the clang of steel and the thunder of hooves, that Erseric learned the basics of being a knight and forged himself into the man he would one day become.
