Rook Hill Manor

This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
Constructed in the (very likely) false history of Falkovnia in the approximate year of 656 BC at the latest[1] by the Karloff Family, Rook Hill Manor is a bleak, stone edifice now owned exclusively by the mad Yuri Karloff, burgomaster of Delmunster] (at least, as of 737 BC.[2]
It is here where the Falling Star of 737 BC landed in. Burgomaster Yuri Karloff discovered the rocket and buried it in the woods a couple of miles away. However, this did not prevent him from going insane, nor did it keep Delmunster from being plagued by the doppelganger plant that ravaged the town.[3]
Even before the arrival of the calamitous star rock, Rook Hill Manor was a place of horror. The Karkloffs were a family of evil wizards who were almost killed to the last man, through their own dread magic or those of rival mages, save for Yuri, who has inherited all their property through treachery. The manor is staffed entirely by juju zombies, a remnant of a past conspiracy that failed to wipe out the line.[2]
