Ground Floor

  • Cellars: The cellars are half-buried, and remain quite cool year round. As such, they often house sleeping servants at night during the warmer months. The walls here are stocked with drink, bags of root vegetables and plenty of cured meats, much of it hunted by the lord.
    • Staff: Whent, the Cellarer; plus one of the Kitchen helpers.

First Floor

  • Kitchens & Main Hall: This grand chamber is - in the old style of such fortifications - both preparation and dining hall. The family rarely dines here, however, save when there are guests. As such, the servants have most of the run of this area. With its grand hearths, it is often quite warm, and as such serves as the bedding-down place for many servants at night. Lady Elizabel actually heads up most of the cooking, due to her highlands upbringing.
    • Staff: Mother Ablia, Housekeeper and Assistant Cook; Tisa, Maergery, Lyra and Rhaine, Kitchen helpers and maids.

Second Floor

  • Solar: A warm, pleasant room with ample natural lighting, the Solar is where the family is usually found. The lord's desk is kept near the entrance, with seating for the house's women to do their embroidery and other household work beside the hearth. The southern portion of the chamber has a fair-sized table where the family take their meals.

Third Floor

  • Heir's Chambers: X
  • Daughters' Chambers: The household's daughters share a room and a large curtained bed here. Nanna Snow also sleeps here, in a smaller bed shoved off into one of the corners.
  • Maester's Chambers: House Wisent has prepared one of its few chambers for the sole use of their new maester, outfitting it with a decent bed with thick coverlets and furs, a desk and shelves for the books and other possessions he brings with him.

Fourth Floor

  • Garret: The garret has been turned into the Lord and Lady's chambers, and the nursery (though there are no younglings in it now). The chambers are always kept locked, as the household's moneychest can be found here.

Roof

  • Rookery: The southeastern tower, originally basically unused, has been refurbished to act as a basic rookery for the ravens that House Wisent's new maester is bringing with him.
