Trilda

Trilda is a manse located by Lally Meadow, deep in the Forest of Tantravalles.

Location
Trilda is located deep in the Forest of Tantravalles next to Lally Meadow and Lally Brook. Tudifot Shee is located nearby. Being in the southern half of the Forest, the manse is within the borders of Lyonesse.

Construction
Trilda was designed by a minor magician named Hilario.The manse was designed with irregular shaped rooms and windows of many sizes overlooking the meadow. The façade includes a steep roof with innumerable dormers and gables. A black iron weathercock is fixed to the highest verge.

The manse was constructed according to Hilario's design by a troop of goblin carpenters under the supervision of Shylock. The original structure was built overnight. After inspection, Hilario's recognized that the structure was a magical illusion. While appearing sound; it was actually a makeshift assembly of flimsy materials. After much wrangling, the goblin troop restarted construction and completed the project in three days. After being paid with large quantities of food and drink, the goblins parted with Hilario in good fellowship.

During his residence at Trilda, Murgen built a dam on Lally Brook, forming a pond called Lally Water. The dam turns a water wheel that powers many of the instruments and apparatus on the premises.

Occupancy
Hilario disappeared mysteriously sometime after taking up residence at Trilda. After his disappearance, the property came into the possession of the magician Murgen. Murgen dwelled at Trilda for some time, before relocating himself to Swer Smaude. Murgen eventually gave the property to his scion, Shimrod.
