Count Raum's mansion also known as The Chateau (a French reference to add to the French Revolution motif) is the stronghold of the Wraith aristocracy in Aetha. It's an elaborate and beautiful location which strikes a certain irony when you remember who live within it's walls. It is divided into East Wing, West Wing, and Count Raum's Tower. | Count Raum's mansion also known as The Chateau (a French reference to add to the French Revolution motif) is the stronghold of the Wraith aristocracy in Aetha.

*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]]. | *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:''' 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. | *'''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.

*'''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. | *'''Elizabeth's Chambers:''' Elizabeth's Chambers are three floors exclusively given to Princess Elizabeth.

====Central Portion of Mansion==== | |||
*'''Ballroom:'''The beautiful Ballroom shows off what Wraith architecture is made of. Beautifully crated out of marble and used for many Wraith social gatherings at Raum's Mansion, including one when Jen and Scree visit Aetha. It is here we're first shown the troublesome Elizabeth and where Jen attempts to pickpocket Raum's keys whilst under a masquerade. The Ballroom's final appearance is the climatic final encounter with Raum and Empusa. | |||
*'''Courtyard:'''Location of the Blood Fountain. | |||
*'''Raum's Tower & Laboratory:''' It is here that Jen is first taken when kidnapped by Raum. She is held in a constrictive cage device upon what appears to normally be Raum's throne. Her vambraces were taken by Raum and held in one of his Dark Scientific machines. | |||
====East Wing==== | |||
*'''Banquet Hall:'''A gigantic table with humungous chairs to sit many a guest. | |||
*'''Raum & Empusa's Bedroom:'''Situated in the west corner of the East Wing is the bedroom of the Count and Countess. The ground floor consists of a parlor. Note the mirror on the landing for the Count and Countess to check their appearance before greeting the unwashed masses. There is a Harpsichord in this part of the Wing. | |||
*'''Orrery Room:''' | |||
*'''[[Dark Maze]]:''' | |||
*'''Blood Machine:''' | |||
