u/-LordGrimrose-

This is my Gilnean noble housing on the Alliance side, built to represent Grim Rose Manor, ancestral seat of House Grimrose on Thornrose Isle, north of Gilneas.

The exterior is a classic dark Gilnean mansion made of the finest Gilnean timber, with steep Victorian-style peaked roofs, ever-lit oil lanterns, and massive rose vines climbing aggressively across the dark wooden façade. Twisted, gloomy trees press right up against the walls, their branches reaching just below the many balconies. The whole place has a permanent dim, eerie atmosphere even during daylight — perfect for that cursed Gilnean noble vibe.

Inside, the Main Hall is heavily inspired by the Great Hall of the Freys from the Red Wedding scene. Long wooden tables, banners of House Grimrose (black field with silver roses and golden thorns), dim candlelight, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere that screams "something bad could happen here at any moment." It’s elegant, but unmistakably menacing.

Perfect for dark noble RP, political intrigue, shady deals, or even hidden druidic corruption plots.

RP / Lore Section – House Grimrose

Character: Lord Valturan Grimrose

Title: Lord of Ashrose

Race: Gilnean Human

Class: Noble

Hidden Class: Corrupted Druid of the Emerald Nightmare (former follower of Xavius)

House Grimrose rules the island of Thornrose Isle (Rosaleda de las Espinas), north of Gilneas. The island has around ten thousand inhabitants who live from agriculture, cattle raising, and fishing. However, the house is most famous for its excellent sweet wine produced in sun-kissed vineyards — a true luxury export. Their true wealth, though, comes from ancient gold mines that have belonged to the family for generations.

They also maintain a small but formidable navy: 5,000 seasoned sailors and 20 heavily armed warships with black sails and dark timber, still waiting for their first true battle to defend the island.

Ashrose Manor stands in the middle of a vast, gloomy forest of twisted trees where even daylight feels dim. It is an imposing Gilnean mansion with steep roofs, perpetually lit lanterns, and great rose bushes entangled across its façade. The trees grow so close that their branches brush beneath the many balconies from which Lord Grimrose sometimes steps out, gazing at the full moon… either waiting for it, or fearing it.

Valturan is the eldest of three brothers. The youngest, Lucian, lies in the family crypt beneath the manor. The middle brother, Maekar, fled Gilneas long before the Curse struck. He fell in with the Scarlet Crusade and is now known as one of their champions. Nothing has been heard from him since.

Valturan was married to Lady Rosaline Blackvale. She and his brother were both lost during the Forsaken invasion. They had three daughters: Emil, Rumi, and Leonor. All three have recently fled the manor, unable to tolerate their father’s current radical policies.

Lord Grimrose has officially deserted the Alliance and severed all ties with the Kingdom of Gilneas. Years of abandonment, abusive taxes, and the final insult — a lasting peace treaty with the very same Horde and Forsaken who murdered his wife and brother — have pushed him to this breaking point.

He now walks a dangerous path… one that hides a much darker secret beneath the noble surface.
