This is a short question, but... has anything ever been said on the size of Aencar's Manor? I got the idea that it was a fairly big place (if nothing else, with those cellars that link up with the Underdark and Antharikkan's Cave) and that it had some good-sized outbuildins as well, but little beyond that.

Another thing giving me the idea of great size was the fact that it was big enough for the Cult of the Dragon to build a 'stronghold' in the cellars and yet not bother the hordes of ghosts and other undead that supposedly swarm about the place. Then again, maybe the cultists have a necromancer who can make buddies with the undead...

Really, any help on even basic maps and such will be vastly appreciated. Thank you.

The write-up for Aencar's Manor in Volo's Guide to the Dalelands provides some possibilities on the actual size of the ruined estate.

Thanks, I have it and it's very useful but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other source of information on the Manor.

The Dalelands has a little more info, though VGttD remains the more complete source. Otherwise, there isn't much else.

There was going to be a 3e update for the Manor, as Eytan Bernstein, from Dragons of Faerūn tells us:-

"I was actually considering writing up Aencar's Manor for DoF instead of Karthaut, but space just didn't permit it."

I do believe that a write-up for Aencar's Manor would have indeed been nifty!

It certainly would have! I would have liked some detail on Antharikkan's lair in the depths of the manor, as well as how he handles 'his' Dragon Cult cell.
