Oakenshield Manor

The manor of Marquis Alan Serkis, right-hand man of Duke Celester, located in central Hernand. The estate once served as the central facility of an oak farm and is now a fortified residence visible from the Hernand Inn, just across the street. Key location for the main quest 'First Step to Rebuilding,' where Serkis grants the Greymane mercenaries Howling Hill as their base. Contains a Memory Fragment in the reception room and a strongbox puzzle.
