@Lillian (Devi)<br/><br/>The kitchen is nestled in North-East corner of the manor, adjacent to both the Ballroom to its West and the Dining Room to its South.  It is large, roughly five times the size of a regular household kitchen, with additional stoves and counter space for whatever feasts are prepared there.  However, much of it appears unused, with clutter only occupying one particular corner of the cooking area.<br/><br/>It is empty.  At the inside corner is a wooden door, slightly ajar.  A quick peek inside reveals a stairway down.  There is no light, or any sign of a candle holder or switch.
