The last remaining estate to survive the fading fortunes of the Emerald House.

Sat atop Crowe Hill, on the very edge of the opulent Lords’ Quarter, the walled manor house is a crumbing jumble of turrets and outbuildings, hiding a maze of passageways and tunnels within.

Built in a distinctly out-of-date gothic style, and with its overgrown gardens threatening to consume the structure, Crowe Hall is the last remnant of a line which stretches back millennia, into the time of the old lore of myths and legends.

The grounds of Crowe Hall are some of the largest of all the lords' estates. Nestled in the shadow of the walls of the White Palace, they were once lavish, but have long-since become unkempt and overgrown.

There is a large stable-yard to the rear of the house, with an arch through to the walled garden, which once provided all the food to feed the household. Beyond, a paddock leads to the old orchard and the ornamental lake. The tombs of House Emerald's ancestors can be found in the ancient woodland, and a folly is carved into the cliffs that rise up to the walls of the White Palace.

The estate is ringed by a high brick wall, and the main entrance is through the Swan Gate, though there are stories of many secret ways to and from the hall.

Some even say that there are secret tunnels leading all the way to the catacombs that, legend has it, run deep beneath Kings Hill.
