-The Riddle / Onyxx Manor-

What kind of house is it: Manor
Where is your home located: Liverpool, England
Description of House: The exterior of the house is dark and gloomy. The brick is dark grey and black. It is not an enormous house, but does look like a small castle, with many ornately designed and topped turrets. The majority of the windows are designed, painted glass.

The interior is also rather dark, though each room is very different. There are a total of four rooms that are used for bedrooms, two of them for guests. There are two other rooms that were built to be bedrooms, but are used for other purposes.

The basement is the darkest and gloomiest of all, being the base of all secrets plans and creations. The walls are coated in blood-red and black, with a few scattered candles for light. Covering the walls are portraits of Ryneira's family, things related to the Dark Arts and other things that connect them to Slytherin and their 'evil' side. The basement is always kept locked securely with many spells, and no but the three family members and the couple trusted are allowed.

Description of Lawn: The entire yard, front and back, is a forest. In fact, the home is basically placed directly in the center. Many say it's an odd spot and wonder if it was accidental. However, it was not at all, it was intended to be secluded, as it was, though no one else knows, built by Ryneira's father.

The forest that is their lawn and yard, spreads a good way over the land, and it is all theirs. Throughout it, you will find your occasional lone Thestral or Unicorn, whatever banished creatures they have allowed to take cover there.

With the dark, creepy house and large, dark forest, the entire home and area generally has a haunted look.
