Search (47) The Vordin Mansion (Abandoned)
You come before the large Vordin Mansion on the outskirts of town. The large house has started to fall into disrepair and looks like it's long overdue for maintenance and renovations, but it's still at least capable of standing on its own.

You start by searching the interior. Oddly enough, walking through the house gives you unsettling vibes, as if the place is haunted. The atmosphere is unusually cold and you're easily beginning to see why the squatters chose the vacant Rolodon Apartment building across the street instead of this place. It's also no surprise why Vordin the Simisear must have left.

The Vordin Mansion is just downright creepy...

The mansion seem to have an unusual, black, tar-like substance trickling down the walls, in goopy piles on the floor, and dripping from the ceiling. And you're not sure what exactly it is or where it's coming from. It also smells unusually terrible, like a mix of decay and rotting eggs.

The cherry wood stain finish on the banisters, moldings, and hardwood floors has become a sickly mix of black and maroon, almost looking like the color of dried blood and scabs. Not a whole lot of furniture remains, but something has caused the wood to become warped and disfigured. Meanwhile, some of the metallic objects have become overrun with a red-pigmented rust.

You start searching from the attic, which has become a sickly graveyard of Vordin's abandoned furniture and crumbling family heirlooms. More of the black gel-like slime is here, and you're suspecting it has to be something about the roof that's the source of this disgusting goo. As you check the roof from the outside one of the broken, warped attic windows, it looks like the black roof tiles have been melting from the rain and any areas that had holes and water damage, which must have been quite a few in number, have become channels for this heavy, black goo to start dripping everywhere. You figure the filthy rainwater, rotting wood, and whatever these tiles were made of is probably what created this foul-smelling black goo.

You finish your search of the rest of the house. It appears Vordin probably left at a good time and most of the furniture in the house was cleared out. Whatever was forsaken and left behind has begun to crumble apart and has plenty of this black goo just plopping right on top of it, drip by drip.

After leaving the mansion, you search the exterior for anything interesting. You discover that the entrance to the basement is on the outside via a pair of metal, double rectangular doors. You open both of them and head downstairs via a cold, stone staircase.

You soon arrive before what begins to feel like the entrance to a dark, underground chapel, only there's a lot about it that feels and seems disturbingly twisted. However, before the hallway lets you proceed any further, you come across a dark, metal vault door that looks like it has the frozen, metallic depiction of Arceus, only the body is wretched and twisted, and it's missing its entire face. There also seems to be an inscription here.

"The SUNKEN God demands a face."

Locked Door: {Chapel of the SUNKEN God, Missing Face Left Half, Missing Face Right Half} has been noted in the Team Records.

You head out back into the welcoming daylight.
