This house is new to me. I have never stumbled upon its existence before. Nature made a good job hiding from the rest of the world. I am pondering upon who might live there. Sometimes I have seen lights stemming from its windows. Sometimes a passing shadow. The engulfment that the surrounding wilderness provides might not be unintentional. Might it be on purpose? Might this... home seek anonymity and to be unseen by the rest of the world? I am not at peace with this dwelling. I believe to be hearing screams and wailing coming from it. But my mind is unstable and my ears might not be trusted. Or can they? |

Mother's Dwelling or "Mad House" is one of 3 Maps in the Red Forest Realm
. The map has 2 variations.
Story[]
For the common hiker, the house might be hard to spot. Engulfed by nature, it lays dormant, as if it is waiting for its family to return. Once a home that held laughter, smiles and warmth, has now grown cold. But not completely deteriorated and forgotten. Nature is rough in its treatment, but someone withstands the wear and tear that stems from the winter. The inside lacks the care that once was. But flickering candles can sometimes be seen through the window, and inside there is a place for the younglings. Decorations are visible, but may not be impressive for anyone who does not understand this newly gained purpose of this dwelling. It is not just a place, for someone, to live and flee the world. It is a home for some and a cell for others. Others that scream one word that the outside wind destroys and is never heard. One simple word, screamed in distress..."mother".

Change Log[]
Patch 6.6.0[]
- Updated the Map's visuals and assets.
Patch 7.4.0[]
- Reduced the Map's size from 188 sqT down to 152 sqT.
Trivia[]
- In the Game files Mother's Dwelling is being referred to under the name Mad House.
- The Map is inspired by Eastern European forests.
- Mother's Dwelling is the second map to contain weather effects: it's raining slightly and a faint mist is pouring down from the tree tops.
- The other Maps with weather effects are Treatment Theatre, Mount Ormond Resort and The Temple of Purgation.
- It's still unique though in that the weather effect is global and present on the whole map.
- On the upper floor of the Main Building, there is a family portrait, most likely of Anna (The Huntress
), her mother and her father (see Gallery).
Size[]
- With the Developers massively reducing the size of The Pale Rose in Patch 2.3.0, Mother's Dwelling became the largest Map in the game, a title it kept for over five years until its own size-reduction in Patch 7.4.0.
