Freehold Hollow

The Freehold Hollow of the DFW sister freeholds is a warm and inviting place in the spring. 
The huge two-story Main Building which houses the ballrooms and official Freehold business sits solemnly to the right of the main entrance. Each of its twin double doors are fronted with a pretty veranda, each porch garlanded with colorful flower-braids of bright blue bluebonnets and colorful Indian paintbrushes. 
To the immediate left of the main Hollow entrance is the fenced shooting range where Changelings practice archery and firearms both. To the left of that sprawls a truly gargantuan three-story building, gently shabby on the outside, and with the look of a shared residence about it--these Dormitories look like they could easily house a thousand people or more. 
A cool Lake sparkles nearby in the bright Texas sunlight, taking up a good third of the space in the cliff-ringed Hollow. The lake is lined on the nearest side by a dirt running track that loops around a dizzyingly tall Tower, and the water clearly descends to a very deep depth. The water looks cold and inviting in the Texas heat, and swimmers laugh and splash happily--some in swimsuits, some in fur and scales. 
The cliffs that protectively ring the Hollow spill cold water into the lake at the far side; the powerful waterfall beats the lake with gusto, but the waters nearest the main Hollow entrance are peaceful and still, with no indication of where all the extra water is going. On the far side of the lake, too distant to see clearly and ringed in a haze of mist is a small building, almost reminiscent of a Chapel or church and with an air of disuse about it. 
The Freehold Hollow is busy today, as on most days: groups of Changelings play in the water and train at the range, while small knots of people lounge cheerfully on the verandas, talking and sipping pale tea from glasses that sweat in the humid Texas air. Though you can't see it from the main entrance, there's also a lovely Garden that keeps us in all the Hedge-fruit we could ever need. 
Welcome to the DFW Freehold Hollow, where everyone wants to be your friend and absolutely nothing is suspicious or not what it seems.
==Scene Blocking==
I've actually modeled the Freehold Hollow in The Sims 2; it's not pretty and the pictures will not do it any justice (everything is much bigger and fancier than can be achieved in a computer game) but it will help players block out scenes in their mind and, like, whether they can see the lake from the Autumn library.
