Johannes' Demesne
The Demesne of Johannes Lillegard is a region spanning all of Jacob’s Bell, west and north of the hospital as well as the entire expansion north of the bridge. The inside has been twisted into a reflection of the real town, with embellishments and decorations. Arches, steepled roofs, pointed roofs that curled and bent in zig-zags. The roads all twist and turn, acting as a trap that lures people in but no way out.
Johannes’ apartment building, the tallest building in Jacob’s Bell at maybe eight stories, has a penthouse perched on top, where there is a throne that Johannes can overlook the entire area with his familiar. The process of creating the demesne involved laying claim to all his voice could reach and set speakers up around so that his voice reached out further through a microphone.
Functions
The demesne acts as a sort of fiefdom, where Others can relive the days of preying on humans as they did without opposition in exchange for a bit of their power as an entry fee. As the residents of the demesne are all vestiges that have had mouse and dog spirits placed inside of them, enabling Johannes to control them with his implement.
