*Upon arriving in the mansion from the Dungeons you're met with a daunting room with statues of lantern carriers which resemble '''The Hermit''' in [[wikipedia:The Hermit|Tarot Cards]] and also bear a striking similarity to lantern-carriers in [[wikipedia:Led Zepelin|Led Zepelin's]] album: [[wikipedia:Led Zepelin IV|Led Zepelin IV]].

*'''The Chapel:'''
*'''The Chapel:''' Raum's beautiful chapel lies in the West Wing although it's uncertain who the Wraith worship (as the [[Djinn]] are god-like and the Undine are known to worship gods called '''Leviathans''') but knowing Raum's vanity it's most probably himself. A large mirror within the Chapel supports this. On the southeast wall, there are twin mirror statues of Wraith about to strike a women in evening dress from behind.
=== Count Raum's Mansion ===
*'''Arboretum:'''Contains a Riftgate and benches, a relaxing area, located near where Jen is captured by Raum upon entering the mansion.
*'''Library:'''Raum also has an extensive book collection, located in a library in the West Wing. Partway up each of the four columns in the library are green flames giving the room an eerie glow. Within the Library are also some impressive paintings of the Wraith Aristocracy. One depicts Empusa and Raum together - Empusa looks notably pregnant, most probably with [[Elizabeth]]. The second painting appears also in Raum & Empusa's bedroom and depicts a rather strong battleworthy Raum atop some rocks striking an aggressive pose. More Wraith artwork includes a Wraith bust wearing a [[wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]]-like cowl, minus the breathing mask. A door to the Northeast leads to the Chapel and to the South West is a door to Elizabeth's Chambers and a hidden passage leads to the Mansion's Armory.<br>

*'''Armory'''
*'''Elizabeth's Chambers:''' Elizabeth's Chambers are three floors exclusively given to Princess Elizabeth. Her attic is where she sleeps, and also where Scree asks her for a dance. Her actual chambers are the middle floor which is a double room with two chaises longues, a fireplace, a bureau with huge mirror, and floor to ceiling windows.  Stairs up to Elizabeth's Attic and down to the ground floor. Northeast door leads into the Library and the Northeast door into the hallway leads to the Arboretum where Jen was first captured by Count Raum.

*'''Rats''': It's clear rats are a problem in Aetha. Many scamper across the floor in the dungeons and [[Princess Elizabeth]] has a dead pet rat called '''Claude'''.

*'''Unnamed Travel-Worthy Toad''': Exceptionally hard to discover, in the Manor House there is a sepia photograph of a Helot riding upon a very large toad-like creature. Another figure appears to be holding the reigns of the toad upon the floor. A domesticated pet appears next to him - possibly a terrier dog.

*The date on the majority of the gravestones is: "1220-1242." It is unknown what this date signifies, however a [[wikipedia:Croatian]] '''Archbishop Guncellus''' held religious power in this era.

*Many of the doors of the Helot houses are daubed with white which shows a cross with wings and a circle atop of it. Such a marking could be similar to a passage in the Bible: [http://bible.cc/exodus/12-23.htm Exodus 12-23]. It claims to make a marking upon your door to make sure the Lord God knows not to strike down your door and destroy whoever's inside. The Wraith could be likened to gods with their immortality and the marking could be a sign that they've already been calling at that house for victims.

*Scree never gives Elizabeth the dance he promised he would upon Jen defeating her parents. Technically she is now in charge of Aetha (or at least the province visited in PRIMAL).
