I created the following 2-Floor Noble Manor (with an eventual lower level) to provide a lush and elegantly themed environment for a variety of campaign/adventure purposes, some of which are mentioned below:
| Ravenloft themed castle or manor to house a prominent NPC or BBEG.
| Headquarters for the PC's, or a temporary base of operations.
| Mage Guild for one of your magical organizations.
| Noble Estate for use with Heists, Murder Mysteries or Haunted Mansions.
The floors contain quarters for [4] Nobles, [1] Guard Captain, [1] Head Servant, [2] Important NPC's, [1] Wizard/Advisor, [8] Guest Rooms and much more.

Head Servant's Quarters - The head servant of the house has an office and private quarters located off the main servant's quarters.
Lord Blackwell's Office - Located on the far northern end of the hall is Lord Blackwell's Office, a grand chamber where he holds most of his formal business meetings and resides during the day to study his affairs.
Library - Located in the northeastern part of the mansion, this expansive library offers many worthwhile tomes and comfortable seating for those in search of knowledge.
Brother's Quarters - Located east of the Great Hall are a pair of bedrooms and living quarters held by [2] brothers, a swordsman and sorcerer that serve the Blackwell family. They can frequently be found there, pursuing the tasks Lord Blackwell has provided to them.
Ballroom - Located east of the Great Hall is a spacious Ballroom, where Lady Blackwell held many parties and events. They are held to this day, though Lord Blackwell is rumored to be a reclusive and stodgy host, often leaving the guests to entertain themselves after making his presence known with a welcome address.
