The Inside of the mansion is large and spacious, while also maintaining a cozy feel. the chairs and sofas are made of dark oak and cherry with red embroidered satin cushions. the curtains are dark midnight blue, and tapestries hang on the walls. dim lights glow from inside the crystals of a large chandalier in each room, and from globes on stands in the corners that act as lamps. this leaves most of each room dimly lit, with areas of shadow ringing the middles. faerie fire of alternating shifting colors create patterns on the walls and cielings in places, diplaying the master's personal crest, and the symbol of Kiaransalee, the Revenancer, drow goddess of undeath and vengeance. many rooms are completely torn to shreds, simply messes. only the parlor, ballroom, dining room, and about half the bedroom suites are well kept. the whole house has three levels, not including the basement levels or towers. slaves' bedroom suites are located in a sepperate wing. the staff reside in the basement, coming up from secret doors to d their work in aloofness, maintaining the eerie feel of a practically empty house, which cleans itself.
On the outside, it is a perfect square shape for a base, about 240 feet on each face, and it is three stories high, plus a castle-like roof. there are towers at each corner, as well as every 40 feet from eachother, with the exception of the front area having the middle 120 feet without towers. in the back the second and third story have their middle 50 feet in a glass hemisphere supported by a half-ring of pillars. teh whole building is made of masonry and is gothic-style in architecture. there is no gate, and the many windows seem impossible to see into.

the mansion is located in a faerzress-infused labrynthine region known as the Ghast Maze (named for it's bio-luminescent fungus and the effects of it's faerzress), which lies beneath the barton hills. some speculate that the fungus glows because of chemical leakage from G-corp nearby on the surface.

The portal to the main entrance is two-way, unkeyed and can transit between the front door of the mansion and either a door in Au'Shinduago, one in L'Oath Mayar, one in Ullorbath, one in the Starless Sea, one in Durem, one just south of the Von Helson mansion or one in the demiplane city of Union. The portal in the master bedroom is keyed, can transit up to medium size, and is two-way. the key is a brooch made of silver shaped like a pentacle.

The master himself is a vampire, who used to be an albino drow man. He is a powerfull and dignified cleric of Kiaransalee, as well as a skilled sorcerer.
