Overview
Sunrise Plains is a vast open plain situated in the southern part of the Hernand region. The area functions as the estate of Count Grace and houses Glenbright Manor, an expansive farm, and a beekeeping facility. Known as a gathering place for the most renowned artisans in Hernand, the Sunrise Plains is where the cloudcart was reportedly created in local workshops. South of the Greymane Camp at Howling Hill, this region plays a major role in the main storyline.
Location
Sunrise Plains lies in southern Hernand, south of the Greymane Camp. Glenbright Manor is located almost directly south of the Emberwind Workshop. The area includes the Grace Estate, which encompasses Count Grace's farmland, the Sunrise Plains Bandit Camp, and multiple points of interest dotted across the rolling plains.
Grace Estate
The Grace Estate is the large landholding of Count Grace within the Sunrise Plains. The estate centers on Glenbright Manor, a grand manor house that becomes the site of a dramatic main quest event. The estate also includes farmland and a beekeeping operation, and it employs a staff of servants who maintain the grounds.
Glenbright Manor
Glenbright Manor is Count Grace's residence, located at the heart of the Grace Estate. When Kliff arrives at the manor during the Traces in the Manor quest, a body falls through the main gate, covered in blood and showing the marks of a recent skirmish. Players must defeat a band of Reed Devils before entering.
Inside the manor, players can discover multiple hidden secrets. A painting of two knights on horseback conceals a hidden room, and a wardrobe on the upper level has a gear mechanism connected to the ceiling. Turning its handwheel reveals the Sapphire-Hilted Golden Dagger when light hits a nearby statue. The main study contains two dagger slots above the fireplace that unlock a secret bookcase passage leading to a hidden basement containing the Cloudcart Blueprint and several strongboxes.

Abyss Cresset Puzzle
The Sunrise Plains contains an Abyss Cresset puzzle in a small woodland just south of Glenbright Manor. The puzzle features four statues that players must manipulate to face inward.
To interact with the statues, pierce the base with your sword and push with Kliff to turn them. The statues are linked in pairs: moving one causes the linked statue to move as well. The solution involves adjusting the east and west statues first (using the east statue), then the north and south statues (using the south statue), until all four face inward. Completing the puzzle rewards an Abyss Artifact.
Abyss Cresset puzzles appear on the map as a white circle with a question mark. You can also locate them by using the sword's Blinding Flash ability, which shows them as a white glint in the distance.

Tips
When exploring Glenbright Manor, examine paintings and wardrobes carefully. Several hidden mechanisms reveal valuable items and secret passages.
For the Abyss Cresset puzzle, remember that statues are linked in pairs. Adjust one pair at a time to avoid undoing your progress.
The Cloudcart Blueprint found in the manor basement is needed for wagon construction, so do not skip the hidden basement.
