The manor, and much of the surrounding neighborhood, looks like it has seen better days. Not that it has fallen into disrepair; it's merely that function seems to be valued more than aesthetics. The garden could clearly use some tending, for it is quite overgrown, and Growl can see that it could also stand to be weeded. Those native to the city know that this neighborhood used to be quite affluent, but many of the wealthier and more influential families have moved away.
