Count Valentine constructed the avant-garde Valentine Mansion by using the wealth and political contacts amassed through trade. Countless parties that showed off the prosperity of the Valentine family were held in the great hall where expensive rose-colored marble was used in great abundance.

However, Count Valentine was beguiled by Soul Edge's powers and began to squander his riches madly in its pursuit. It was not long before the valentine clan fell into ruin.

Ivy, the adopted daughter of the Count, remains here alone to pursue Soul Edge by researching alchemy and ancient sorcery.
