Description

The ancestral seat of House Rampshire stands proudly atop a gentle hill, surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking vast stretches of rolling hills and meadows. Built of pale stone quarried from the cliffs near the sea, its towers gleam beneath the sun, crowned with banners bearing the proud stag of House Rampshire. Antlerhall is grace and permanence, its high-vaulted halls echoing not with the roar of warhorns but with the measured tones of courtly speech, music, and learned debate.

The great hall itself is famed for its carved wooden beams shaped like antlers branching across the ceiling, each one gilded at the tip to catch the light of the chandeliers. In its heart rests the Stagthrone, a seat of polished oak inlaid with silver, from which the ruler presides with quiet dignity.

Surrounding the hall are tended gardens, orchards, and fields, a reflection of the Rampshire way: cultivation, order, and stewardship. Where the Stoutlands carved strength out of wilderness, the Rampshires brought grace and refinement to the woodlands. Their people prosper under their measured hand, safe behind Antlerhall's walls and guided by their ruler's wisdom.

Yet for all its elegance, Antlerhall is not without steel. The Stagward, a host of knights sworn to the Head of the House, guard its halls with polished lances and antler-crested helms. They are the perfect counterpart to the feral Tuskguard: disciplined, poised, and unshaken, embodying the grace of the stag against the brute force of the boar.

Together, Antlerhall and Tuskhall reflect two sides of Caorran's strength: the poise of nobility and the raw resilience of the wild, joined not by likeness, but by balance.
