Location: Harrison’s Manor

1. Rumors

“Harrison’s got a stuffed jungle cat in his house. Says it’s a leopard… looks wrong somehow.”
“He keeps an egg under glass like it’s worth more than gold.”
“There’s a stone tablet in there no one’s allowed to touch.”
“He doesn’t collect treasure—he collects answers.”
“Some of his artifacts feel like they’re watching you.”
“If you bring Harrison something strange, he’ll pay more attention to the story than to the price.”

Harrison’s Manor is John Harrison’s home and working estate in Myeve.
It serves as both a residence and a place where recovered relics, curiosities, and expedition findings are kept, displayed, studied, and discussed.
The manor is secured but not heavily fortified.
The front entrance is a cherry-oak door with gold filigree.
Its stained glass shows a dwarf holding a diamond.
The interior contains organized artifact storage, a research study, curio displays, mounted trophies, and a receiving space for visitors and returning adventurers.
Harrison uses the manor as a place to compare finds, study old writings, and assemble larger theories about the Arc Wilds and the forgotten past.
A large reconstructed golden orrery stands on the grounds and is one of the manor’s most remarkable features.
Notable objects presently associated with the manor include:
- A broken metal tablet with Elvish writing
- Writings concerning the Silver Age and Golden Age
- A taxidermied Tabaxi head mounted on the wall
- A rhino head mounted on the wall
- A fossilized old egg on display
- John Harrison’s old lacquered cane, natural in shape rather than carved
The recovered jungle tablet is kept protected and has become one of the manor’s more important studied objects.
The manor has the feeling of a private museum, a scholar’s residence, and an expedition archive all at once.

Harrison’s Manor became a gathering point for relics, notes, and discoveries brought back from expeditions into the Arc Wilds.
At some point, adventurers brought an ancient tablet recovered from a jungle temple to the manor.
The manor now holds transcriptions and study notes tied to that find, including Elvish material connected to ancient machinery.
Through artifacts and reports brought here, Harrison has learned of subjects such as life-force extraction systems and philosopher’s stone research.
John Harrison once sent adventurers to investigate Skystone Castle in search of his long-time friend Brottor Burrowfound.
Brottor was rescued and has since returned home, but that expedition further established the manor as a place where dangerous mysteries, old friendships, and recovered histories meet.

Adventurers, explorers, and sellswords may come here to deliver recovered objects, seek payment, trade information, or hear Harrison’s thoughts on what they have found.

What larger theory is Harrison building from the relics and notes gathered here?
How much has he truly understood from the tablet and related translations?
What other dangerous objects are already in the manor that visitors have not noticed yet?
What forgotten civilization or civilizations are connected to the Silver Age, Golden Age, and the machinery references found in his collection?
Will Harrison remain simply a scholar and patron, or will his growing body of knowledge draw him into greater danger?
