'''Langley Hall''' is a mansion in [[Eleutheria]] built by the eponymous Lord Langley. It's somehow bigger on the inside than on the outside; Lord Langley himself is said to be lost in its labyrinthine structure. Those who leave the building after a night or two there have an unnerving desire to return immediately.
