Explore Throgmorton Manor in The Sinking City 2. Learn about its layout, unique decor, and the curious events that unfold within its walls, from caskets to cakes.
Alright, let's talk about Throgmorton Manor. This place is located in the southern part of Oldgrove, the fancier district of Oakmont. You can get there by boat from Coverside or just walk from other parts of Oldgrove. It's the family home of the Throgmortons, and it's quite the place.
From the outside, it's a stone mansion with big columns. Look closely, and you'll see statues of an ape holding a brazier, standing on some figures – pretty wild, right? Inside, it's got a real African vibe, packed with jungle plants. It's got three floors: the ground floor, the upper floor, and the basement.
Ground Floor
When you first enter, you'll either find an open casket or a cake, depending on when you visit. Right by the casket, you'll see the Albert Throgmorton obituary on a small table. To the left, there's a big fireplace, a bearskin rug, and a map of Java above the fireplace. Behind that is the kitchen and dining area, and a door leading to water access on Marcussen St.
Upper Floor
Head upstairs, and you'll be greeted by lots of plants, a piano, another bearskin rug, and a statue. The door near the piano opens into a bedroom with furniture, a bed, and more plants. Above the bed, there's a painting or print. On the other side of the entrance area, a hallway leads to a study. There's not much more detail on this part in the source, so you'll have to explore it yourself!
Basement
The basement isn't super exciting, but you'll find some furniture, a big pile of barrels, and a pool table. Keep an eye out, as there might be a mourner down here depending on when you visit.
Trivia
- When you first arrive, you'll see Albert Throgmorton in his open casket with people around. If you come back later, those same people will be eating a cake shaped like Albert. Talk about a change of pace!
- Above the front pillars, you'll see the Latin phrase Scientia Vincere Tenebras, which roughly translates to "conquering darkness by science." A fitting motto for this place, I'd say.
That's Throgmorton Manor for you. It's a memorable spot, for sure!
