*This [[Location Type::Organization]] is associated with the [[Ordo Dracul]] and is owned by its Grand Wyrm, currently no one.<div style="float: right;">{{Show Haven|Ordo Dracul}}</div>

Once the former Chapterhouse of the Ordo Dracul, this building suffered major damage in mid-2018 while coming under attack by things unknown coming up from the tunnels below. In the defense of this location, the Dragons collapsed the tunnels beneath the building as a final strategic measure, destroying various creatures but damaging the site. The ruin is currently owned by Dirt Nap.

===Grounds===
Even faded and worn, California sings in the heritage of the Manor – a confluence of Spanish and American styles - from every parapet and every arched window. Expansive, proud, and dignified, the old Mission Revival Architecture reflects its pedigree in its ceramic tiles, grand turrets, and a coat of pale-peach stucco. 

Despite the grandeur, the effects of entropy and recently ended neglect still show. Tendrils of ivy slither over adobe bricks, grasping for the leaded glass windows, and blanketing the grand turreted staircase. An overgrown and solitary palm tree slouches from its corner where manor meets the solarium. Tufts of weeds and grasses sprout in cracks of a once lovely arcade and the intricate pathways spiral out from the house; the pattern of which may be of some importance yet to be re-discovered. 

A solitary driveway, pools in graying asphalt near the grand entry. 


===Grand Entry===
The foyer of the Chapter House is beset with exotic hardwood floors, and glitter with painted and stained glass interior doors beckoning to other places in the house. A place for coats and umbrellas stands at the ready, while a grand staircase spills out in sinuous lines to the second floor. Stark white walls, keep the foyer from looking too heavy while warm light glows from many of the nooks and crannies. To the right, a Formal Dining Room awaits. To the left, a Solarium and even further, the Gymnasium. 


===First Floor===
====Formal Dining Room====
An opulent jewel of the House, the Formal Dining Room speaks of the incredible wealth that made the House originally possible. A gleaming crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, reflecting light off of the dark woods that enclose the space and sparkles off of the glass multicolored tiles that enclose a nearby fireplace. Above is all of the artwork needed; an antique and hand-painted Japanese gold and silver-leafed ceiling depicting peacocks in flight and delicate flowers in bloom; the sheen of which contributing to the warm glow within the room.


====Solarium====
A spacious solarium offers a view of moonlit nature just beyond the Estate. Cleanly and sparsely decorated, it boasts only cream walls and small clusters of chairs for Dragons who require a change in their scenery. 



===Unfinished Rooms===
Unfinished rooms still dot the sprawling Mansion bearing the scars of an occurrence that, for most, is no longer relevant. In a handful of those rooms, the walls are decorated with brown-black blood and dried out viscera left like a sort of macabre Jackson Pollock painting. Many of these rooms show promise, with exposed beams of exotic dark woods, and windows that have been clouded over with age. Each awaits a Dragon willing to enact their will for Change. 


===Basement===
The basement, or what is left of it, is a caved-in and impassable pile of rubble. It is a remnant of a bygone age that has made a mark that is still evident in some of the unused rooms of the House.
