While she served as the French Queen she conducted extensive research on magic.  Paris is one of the two-dozen-or-so places on the globe where the strongest ley-lines for Wizard Magic and Earth Magic intersect, providing the greatest base of operation.  But Mary discovered something even more interesting in a location twenty miles east of the city, along the Wizard Magic ley-line.  It is a a spot where Earth Magics came up from the earth's core, essentially a magical well, and at that exact spot the intensity of the the overlap of magical energies dwarf that of Paris.So she used her influence as Queen to purchase the 4,800 acres of land surrounding the well.  It was mostly farmlands so nobody was particularly concerned.   It has remained in the hands of the Stuart family since that time.   Mary's son King James IV of Scotland, who became King James I of England, brought peace by embracing Clerical magic and had little interest in the French property, nor did most of the descendants.   I, however, have a strong interest and am the current landholder here."</blockquote>
