Trivia[]
- This is the wiki's 1000th page!
- For an extravagant estate located inside a hill, "Loam Hall" is a very appropriate name, as loam is a type of highly desirable soil. It has a material composition by weight of approximately 40–40–20% of sand–silt–clay, respectively, which makes it ideal for gardening and agriculture due to its many benefits, such as its ability to retain nutrients better than other soils and its optimal balance of water retention and drainage properties.
- In the first draft of the maps, there was originally a shared toilet and bathroom in the back of the Servants' Quarters.[1]
