The Manor At Daperyll Hill is a playable card in the Gothic expansion set with the same artwork as this Curio by Melissa Benson. It includes special text and a very "gothic" atmosphere and font choice, exclusive to this Curio version, akin to a wine label.
Sorcery famously does not have any "lore" or backstory, but there are tidbits of the realm scattered around throughout the sets. The Daperyll Vampire is already established in Alpha, and the Highlands is a region that has been alluded to in various pieces such as Highland Falconer. This Curio further adds to the intrigue and mystery of the Sorcery Realm...
Keith Parkinson's (Guardians CCG) "The Temple of Elemental Evil" bears a resemblance to the artwork above and could possibly have served as some sort of inspiration or nod, similar to the Alpha Brom Deathspeaker Curio also found in Guardians CCG.
