The Mansion

*"Deep in the Forgotten Woods... a decaying estate stands as a dark monument to a fallen family empire."*

This big, dark, empty, castle-like mansion made of stone stands in a clearing in the Forgotten Woods, in the estate of Blackford. The peasants seem to have a terrible fear of this place.

The mansion has two towers, one crumbling due to its age. In the front facade there are numerous wide windows. On the side walls of the house there are very little windows. It has at least three floors, full of many corridors with uncountable doors and secrets, many locked. It is described by the maid as a true maze.

The mansion is miles away from the nearest town, and close to the shore. On the outside there is a vegetable garden with cabbages, near the servants' entrance.

Blackford Manor is the current residence of Sir Montague. The other known residents are Mr. Boggs (the butler), Mrs. Cook (the cook) and Josette Grey (the just-hired maid). Peter often visits the place.

## Entrance Hall

The main hall is tall, with white walls which light up the mansion. The curved stairs go upstairs, into a balcony overlooking the second floor and a hallway. The floor is made out of polished white stone, and many paintings decorate the room, one of which is of Montague Blackford holding his mysterious jewel.

## Upstairs Hallway

This blue hallway connects the stairs to the master's bedroom. The ceiling a pattern of white squares, and a red mug covers the wooden floor. It is illuminated by a big window with red curtains, usually full of dust.
There's a bench of carved wood, and above the portrait of the Lady.

## Downstairs Service Hallway

Downstairs is very dark for the lack of windows, for what there are some torches hang in the walls. The walls are light and dark green, and the floor is wood.
The doors in this hallway communicate with a downstairs hall, dining room, the pantry, the kitchen and with the stairs to the upper floor.

## Portrait Hallway

This hallway runs from across the house to the upstairs hallway. It is decorated with numerous paintings from the Blackford past.
In one of them, there's a secret entrance to the upper floor, what could be the attic, and the maid's chamber.

## Library

The great library, two floors high, has some large windows covered by curtains. These open up mechanically. on the other side there's a huge fireplace, large enough to fit someone inside. This room is full of secret entrances. One book opens a passage to a small private room, where Sir Montague probably writes his stories. Another secret exit leads right into the stable of Peter's family.

Many books are stored on its shelves, now forgotten and covered in dust. As the other rooms in the house, the library is dark with some couches to sit and read. This room isn't featured in the film.

## Formal Dining Room

Here, Sir Montague has dinner. It is accessible from across the hall of the service hallway.
This room as well isn't in the show.

## Servant's Kitchen

The service kitchen is where Mrs. Cook prepares dinner.
Inside, there's a wooden table for the staff, some furniture and a fireplace with two couches and a tea table...
It communicates with the downstairs service hallway.

## Larder

Also butler's pantry. This stone room has no windows, and it is located between the kitchen and the dining room.
Here there are some big ovens to cook and empty cupboards.
The fine silverware is stored here, being the most valuable jewelry in the house. There's also a log stack.

## Cellar

Underneath the mansion, underground, there is the dark stone cellar.
It's damp and cold.
Here's where they keep the meat and animals from Sir Montague's hunting...

## Master Bedroom

This is the chamber of Sir Montague, the master. It's well-lit.
It has his own built-in library full of old books, a large bed and other furniture.
The mug that covers the wooden floor is green, and the curtains blue.

## Maid's Bedroom

This is where Josette spends her nights while staying in the mansion.
There are probably other unused rooms next to this one, in the attic, where the butler and the cook sleep.

The small window in this room is shut close with nails. Could this be for stopping someone from getting out, or from getting in?

## Old Lady's Chamber

The Old Lady's bedroom. It's filled with sad-looking dolls, frames and a mirror on its walls.

## Sewing Room

Small closet-sized room at the end of the attic hallway. It is inhabited by little old elves, who once worked for a dressmaker.

## Tower Bedroom

It's located on the big stone tower. The chamber has a window and a mirror, with a pig-faced lady stuck in it.

## Other Rooms

The book features many other rooms, such as the nursery/lab, a drawing room or a downstairs dungeon where the electrical panel is (this place has a secret exit through a cave).
