The Great Expanse

A fortified manor built from wind-worn stone atop a strategic hill, overseeing the Harvest Downs farmlands. It serves as the seat of a minor noble house or knightly order dedicated to protecting the region from threats, while hiding internal strife such as a crumbling treasury, crop blight, or family feud.

The keep is constructed from local stone shaped by relentless winds, blending seamlessly with the rolling hills. Its walls are sturdy yet elegant, with battlements and watchtowers offering commanding views of the fertile farmlands below. Flags bearing the noble house's crest flutter in the breeze, and the manor's architecture balances defense with noble aesthetics.
