Shadowcrest is the ancestral home of the Zatara family. A mansion of vast mystical properties, it is not always situated in the same locale for extended periods of time. Mystical wards protect the mansion from unwanted trespassers, and other incantations are used to render it invisible to those untrained in the mystic arts. Recently, Shadowcrest has been appearing in the Gotham County region just outside Gotham City. While once the home of mage John Zatara, it has since been passed down to his daughter Zatanna. Zatanna maintains an extensive occult library inside the mansion and the house is staffed with faux servants created through magic. Another security feature at Shadowcrest is its voice recognition security system; a complex spell that serves as a "magic word" for gaining access to the front foyer.
Since the disappearance of Zatanna, Shadowcrest was left in the ownership of the Ravencrofts, Vera and her mother Jacqueline. Jacqueline continues to maintain the house as it's primary caretaker researching it's secrets. Often sending out Vera to search for mystic artifacts and books to store in it's library. Together the too mystics try to carry on the Zatara legacy.
