Trigomas Residence
Found on Escutcheon Boulevard in NW Therenborough, the extensive residence and grounds of the House Trigomas is periodically open to the public.
Front Yard
[Trigomas Residence, Front Yard]
Framed by a large rock wall equipped with a steel gate, this property shows the prosperity of its owner. Flagstones fitted to make a solid walkway encourage visitors to stay off the manicured lawn on their stroll to the house. Flowering shrubs soften the two-story building's marble exterior, scenting the air with their rich perfume. Polished brass urns, planted with boxwood topiary, line stairs that lead up to a mahogany front door, adorned by a golden plaque engraved with the Trigomas family crest.
Obvious paths: north, northwest.
- Picked in this room is a delicate white moonflower
Side Yard
[Trigomas Residence, Side Yard]
Hiding the secure rock barricade encircling the property is a row of tall pines, their branches forming a solid wall of bluish-tinged needles that freshen the air with a woodsy scent while also helping to muffle the noise brought on by the hustle and bustle of city life. Along the side of the house, a thick carpet of green grass is meticulously maintained, forming a soft cushion underfoot that invites visitors to continue on the scenic journey around the residence.
Obvious paths: south, west.
Back Yard
[Trigomas Residence, Back Yard]
Creating an ever-changing display of jewel-toned colors, overflowing beds of brilliant daylilies add a splash of color across the building's marble exterior. A door leading into the home's kitchen allows staff to easily serve family and guests who choose to relax in the lawn-carpeted back yard. Grouped with entertaining in mind, woven wicker chairs surround a glass-topped table while matching white chaises are placed to take advantage of the nearby herb and rose gardens with their fragrant perfume.
Obvious paths: north, northeast, east, west, northwest.
- Picked in this room is a brilliant daylily
Herb Garden
[Trigomas Residence, Herb Garden]
Neatly trimmed boxwood forms a hedge surrounding the garden, discouraging animals from venturing in to sample young foliage. White gravel lines interlocking paths that separate the raised beds, crunching underfoot as household staff carefully harvest what is needed for the next meal. Methodically laid out in a formal pattern, each rectangular plot has been planted in contrasting colors with a single type of fragrant herb, designed to compliment the brass sundial decoratively placed atop the center isle.
Obvious paths: southwest.
- Picked in this room are:
Grape Arbor
[Trigomas Residence, Grape Arbor]
Tall columns hung with lanterns support the arbor's trellised framework. Painted a bright white, the woodwork stands out against the leafy grape vines, creating a softly lit outdoor room. A woven design of baked red bricks forms a floor on which wicker chairs and table have been arranged for those wishing to relax in sheltered comfort. Near the back of the arbor a padded wooden swing hangs from chains secured to a ceiling beam, inviting couples to share intimate moments during the day or night.
Obvious exits: south.
- The door here leads to the Kitchen.

Rose Garden
[Trigomas Residence, Rose Garden]
Rambling blooms cover arched walkways winding throughout the garden. Alternating beds are filled with long-stemmed bushes, filling the air with their intoxicating perfume. Along the border, wrought iron fences provide a neutral background for the bedding plants that battle daily for the most attention. Marble benches are placed to view the competition between the famous Therengian roses with their porcelain-white petals and the Trigomas blood rose whose velvety-red color demands to be noticed.
Obvious paths: southeast.

Side Yard
[Trigomas Residence, Side Yard]
The neatly clipped lawn flows in a blanket of green, from the front yard to the back, winding its way along the large rock wall that secures the property from uninvited peasants looking for handouts of food and coin. Tall rhododendron bushes soften the look of the cold, stone barricade with frothy blooms that form a continuous cloud of soft pink, lending a slight floral fragrance to the air to accompany visitors on their journey around the residence.
Obvious paths: east, southeast.
Foyer
[Trigomas Residence, Foyer]
Greeting guests in the center of the foyer is a columned pedestal on which a bronze bust of a proud ram commands immediate attention. Fringed wool carpets dyed a rich forest-green add color and warmth to pale marble flooring, imported from an elite quarry. Long mirrors framed in gold gilding line the walls, allowing for last minute primping before entering the main rooms of the manor. Traces of lemon oil permeate the air, undoubtedly coming from the polished ornate staircase leading to the upper floor.
You also see a mahogany front door and a pair of arched doors.
Obvious exits: north, east.
Great Room
[Trigomas Residence, Great Room]
Filling the far wall, a fireplace built from tumbled river rock forms a rustic backdrop for the stuffed head of a giant black bear, obviously one of the owner's prized trophies. Dividing two overstuffed leather sofas, arranged to take advantage of the fire's warmth, sits a glass-topped table supported by a sculpted bronze wolfhound. Hung from the beamed ceiling, a chandelier of woven elk antlers, floods the area with light. Knotted silk rugs, detailed with scenes of the hunt, adorn the tiled floor.
Obvious exits: north, west.
