Chateau Barbaraque

Château Barbaraque is a château belonging to Lord Adam Barbaraque in the cursed county of Stelvan.

History
The Chateau Barbaraque was a rich lord's castle where he grew plentiful crops. After the curse was placed upon Stelvan, he had a library built onto his property with the intent of hosting school in the castle. Unfortunately he died as construction began, leaving his 14 year old son, Adam Barbaraque in charge of the palace.

Adam spent money on lavish parties and making everything around him beautiful.

Curse
A fairy visited Adam once night, in the guise of an old woman asking for shelter. Adam refused the old woman because of her hideous disguise. The fairy, disgusted at Adam's cruelty went to a nearby rose bush and plucked a single red rose from it. She returned and offered the gift in return for shelter but Adam once again refused.

The Fae shed her disguise and placed a curse on the whole of Adam's castle:

He must find someone to love him as a beast, before the sun sets on his 21st Birthday or stay a beast forever.

The rose she gave him acted as a countdown. Losing a petal every year that went by. The prince also had commissioned a small hand mirror to look into the outside world.

Layout
The castle is made of very tall roves and towers. Unlike most of Stelvan, the curse causes overgrowth of flowers and vines that twist through the castle. The castle is located at the edge of the northern forest, and borders a mountain.

Ballroom
The castle has a lavish ballroom which was used for grand scale parties in its prime.

Dinning Hall
The castle also has a dining hall

Main Hall
The main hall is the entrance to the palace and where the Barbaraque portraits hang
