Isolde's Room

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into an administrative building as well as faculty and staff housing on the second floor.

"For the moment. Current contract forbids putting a tree through his black heart. If... however... I were to let another 'contractor' know where he makes his lair... well, I'm not responsible for what that person does with the information... especially if I'm unaware of her current contractor status." She smiles.
