Freezis Mansion

The Freesis Mansion was the residence of the Freesis Family in Elphegort. It functioned both as living quarters for the merchant family and their many servants and as a meeting place for Keel's associates before being burned down in the Green War.

Early History
Sometime after immigrating to Elphegort, Mikina and Keel Freesis moved into the mansion in the late fifth century EC and made it their home, along with their children Yukina, Shaw, and Aile. They staffed the estate with immigrant servants, aiming to provide jobs for those discriminated against by the Elphen populace. As Keel's business grew, the mansion became a headquarters for the merchant guild and Keel had its members meet with him on the estate along with his political allies; he began a tradition of inviting over all his associates for dinner every month to keep up his contacts. Keel also used the house to store his merchandise and private collection, including King Kyle's sole surviving painting from his youth. In EC 494, Mikina killed the hired nanny and her father after discovering him in the house, about to take Shaw away; in the process she sealed a contract with the Demon of Greed.

Discovery of the Diva
The mansion became an increasingly famous residence, frequently visited by members of the growing Freesis Firm. In EC 499, the family hired two new maids, Michaela and Clarith, onto their staff. Later that year, Earl Felix and Ein visited the mansion to speak with Keel. Michaela eventually was asked to perform during one of Keel's banquets, where she met Kyle. The green haired servant continued to perform in the following banquets, becoming a sensation throughout Elphegort.

Later on, the mansion housed meetings between Keel Freesis, Kyle, and a messenger from King Sohni, gathered to discuss both the issue of bad harvests in Elphegort and the famine in Lucifenia, Keel agreeing to aid with both; Keel also showed Kyle the Venom Sword from his private collection. Kyle, under the influence of the Venom Sword, confessed his love for Michaela in the mansion. Keel was later visited by and conversed with Allen Avadonia, sent to thank the merchant for sending his support to Lucifenia.

Green War
Ney Futapie visited the mansion after Kyle called off his engagement with Princess Riliane, gathering information under orders from her stepmother. When Elphegort was invaded by Lucifenia as part of the ensuing Green Hunting, Keel Freesis released all servants from his service, including Michaela. He and the rest of his family were arrested by Lucifenian soldiers; during their imprisonment, the mansion was burned down. After the war, Elluka Clockworker visited the remains and salvaged Keel's collectibles from the estate warehouse, returning them to the merchant in exchange for the Venom Sword.

Living Room
The main living space within the mansion. The room was furnished with a sofa, chairs, a table, and multiple paintings within a collection, as well as showcasing the only surviving piece from King Kyle's days as an artist. The living room was large enough to accomodate all of the staff and family members at once when called to a household emergency, and served as a lounge after dinner as well as another meeting place for Keel Freesis' guests.

Lobby
A room in which Keel entertained his guests. During his dinner parties, Keel would use the room to show off his treasured collections or other oddities to his business partners and friends. The room was spacious enough to hold multiple people as well as many other furnishings, including a piano and stage for performers to make use of.

Dining Room
The room where formal meals would be served to the family. The room was large enough to seat all of Keel's multiple dinner guests during his periodic banquets, and was where the majority of meals were served for the Freesis household.

Waiting Room
The room for visitors preparing to meet with Keel. It was outfitted for holding any new guests and had at least one window looking outside.

Keel's Private Room
Keel's personal study. The space served as a meeting room for Keel and his associates, as well as guests visiting on political business. In addition, it acted as a makeshift storeroom for Keel's private collection, which included many rare and varied specimens. The room was furnished to accomodate a small number of guests with a table and a few chairs.

Servants' Room
The living quarters for the mansion's servants. The room was sized and furnished to accomodate all of the mansion's staff, serving as a place of rest when ever the household servants were not on duty; due to the large amount of work required of each servant, however, few spent much personal time in the room.

Laundry Room
The room used for washing linen. If conditions were unfavorable outside, lower servants on the mansion staff would use this room to store and wash the dirty clothes, as well as prepare them for use once clean.

Kitchen
The room in the mansion used for cooking the food. Meals for guests, family members, and mansion staff were prepared here by the servants in the household. Such meals included both lavish banquet dinners and customary snacks served during Keel Freesis' meetings with another guest. The kitchen was equipped with all necessary furnishings and materials for preparing each meal.

Garden
A well kept enclosure just outside the mansion. The garden was a spacious fenced in area not far from Keel's room, containing lush vegetation, spare structural decor, and a fountain. The growth of the garden was tended according to Mikina Freesis' preference; while full of flowers during the warmer seasons, the garden became barren in the cold months due to plants losing their bloom.

Warehouse
The storehouse for Keel's purchased artifacts and merchandise. Items purchased for sale were moved to the warehouse until needed to be shown to buyers or at Keel's discretion. Due to the value of some of the artifacts stored within, the warehouse was sealed up and lower ranking servants were not allowed inside.
