Because I need a place to put all the rooms I've mentioned in this stupidly huge manor in various books now.
“In sooth, my love, look at the size of this manse. It’s ridiculous that for years I have been the only one residing on four floors and three wings—it belongs more to the servants than to the family, for more of them dwell in it…! Even when all four of us lived here, it was still too much. A place like this begs to be an administrative center, not a personal house. Or if it is a personal house, it should have far more persons in it.” Jeasa Seni Galare, to Jahir, about the size of the Seni Manse. [1]
Rooms in the Manse
First Floor
Front Hall
Kitchen
Other Floors (Maybe?)
The Library
Overlooks the back of the estate, with a chimney rising between two long windows with matching window seats. Warm auburn wood shelving, brighter rugs and furnishing, cushions on the chair are a sunny gold worked with cream and apricot-colored floss.[2]
The Study
Separate from the Library. Large with a wall of windows with delicate wooden casements. Mural on the ceiling, dainty furniture. Has a desk, and some chairs for visitors. A sideboard with sherry.
Dining Room
The smaller dining room more commonly used by the family has a set of double doors at its eastern end that leads to the little 'retiring room' for men to have their brandy. There are windows on the southern wall (lancet, very tall.) Not sure what floor it's on.
This dining room doesn't have a fireplace, but the retiring room does.
Jahir's suite
Several flights of stairs, and half the house away from the kitchen. [3]
Jeasa's suite
The Solar
on the second floor, south facing wall. "...with a vaulted ceiling that extended to the fourth floor, and the roof, allowing for skylights that curved downward like the windows of a cathedral." [4]
The Lunar
Top floor, northern side. Has a windowseat. Jeasa's favorite place to read novels that are not improving.
People Who Work There
We've seen at least two people in the kitchen, one in Major Pieces and this person, but there might be more.
