For sale: HOLLOW HAVEN

This infamous Gridanian estate has stood for two centuries, steeped in history, rumors, and the occasional midnight wailing. Constructed in 1400 AE, the manor boasts a traditional Coerthan interior style with towering beams, heavy stonework, and the kind of brooding charm only found in structures that are definitely older than they should still be standing.

Inside you’ll find:

Five bedrooms: each with unique “atmosphere” cold spots included at no extra charge.Three baths: functional, though one does occasionally rattle with pipes that don’t exist.A stately parlor: perfectly suited for formal gatherings or séances.A library: where the shelves sometimes reorganize themselves overnight. it’s the ghostsA music room: renowned for acoustics so fine the piano sometimes plays alone. also the ghostsA spacious cellar: suitable for wine storage, workshops, or keeping certain doors locked forever.The property is being sold as-is and will need extensive renovations and perhaps a few holy blessings. But the bones are strong, unnervingly so, and the price is unmatched.

Yes, this is the house from the haunted tours. Yes, I’ve been stuck listing it on and off for decades. No, the spirits are not negotiable. But with a market value easily five times the asking price, this is the deal of a lifetime if you can survive living here long enough to enjoy it.Someone, please, I beg you: buy this house.

Haunting Hours

Throughout the season, there will be special 'haunting hours' where visitors are likely to encounter the house's former occupants while on the tour! Join us for an interactive and chilling performance. Make sure you have /yell chat enabled but please refrain from using it yourself. Make sure you have player effects enabled. These can be toggled under the Character Settings menu.Roleplay is permitted during haunting hours, however we ask that you be mindful that there are other people in the house with you. We also strongly recommend that you minimize the amount of time you spend typing. The longer you stand in one place, the less the actors can engage with you.Haunting hours will be advertised in the 'Other' tab of Party Finder. If you would like to inquire about upcoming haunting hours, receive alerts when haunting hours are beginning, or request them for a group visit, please join our discord.

And because there's always at least one every year, let me be very clear:
We have a zero tolerance policy for bullshit. I have a ban hammer. Give me a reason.
