Like any other position at Hogsworth, the grounds keeper used to have a personal room in the castle. However, this changed after an incident in 1917, when a student named Eli Finkley found themselves injured after entering the Dark Forest. Together with a group of students, they wandered off into the Dark Forest, where they stumbled into the [[Arachtella]] lair. At the sight of these giant spiders, the group immediately started running back towards the castle. Unfortunately for Eli, they were not quick enough to escape from one of these Arachtellas, causing them to get scraped by the spider's pincers. The group was discovered by the grounds keeper as they made their way back to the castle, and Eli was immediately brought into the hospital wing. | Like any other position at Hogsworth, the grounds keeper used to have a personal room in the castle.

Overview
Found near the entrance of the Dark Forest, the Grounds Keeper’s Hut is known to be the residence of Hogsworth’s grounds keeper. Although it looks quite run down, with cobwebs both inside and outside the hut and moss-covered bricks, the building still stands strong after many years.
Background
Like any other position at Hogsworth, the grounds keeper used to have a personal room in the castle. However, this changed after an incident in 1917, when a student named Eli Finkley found themselves injured after entering the Dark Forest. Together with a group of students, they wandered off into the Dark Forest, where they stumbled into the Arachtella lair. At the sight of these giant spiders, the group immediately started running back towards the castle. Unfortunately for Eli, they were not quick enough to escape from one of these Arachtellas, causing them to get scraped by the spider's pincers. The group was discovered by the grounds keeper as they made their way back to the castle, and Eli was immediately brought into the hospital wing.
The headmistress, Annalise Evangeline Brotheron, was deeply saddened by the news that one of her students had been injured. She was disappointed in herself for being unable to prevent one of her students from getting hurt and wanted to ensure that it would not happen again on her watch.
When Basil Tideswell, the grounds keeper, brought up the idea of the hut, Annalise was immediately sold and supported the idea. This way, the grounds keeper would be able to watch over the entrance to the Dark Forest.
Basil took it upon themselves to figure out an easy design, and the hut was built within two days. It was supposed to be done in one day, as it was quite a simple construction, but Basil quickly realised there was not enough room in the design to have a bedroom in the hut as well. As a result, on the second day, a separate building was built right next to the one already constructed. One of the walls had to be broken down to create a little hallway to the bedroom, and a second entrance to the hut was added as well.
Basil was not bothered by the hut’s look, and it is clear that it does not resemble the architectural style used in the Hogsworth castle.
Though students should not roam around the Dark Forest, they are allowed to visit the Grounds Keeper’s Hut if they are in need of the grounds keeper.
Impact on Gameplay
The Grounds Keeper’s Hut is still used by staff at Hogsworth to this day. You can find the Grounds Keeper outside of their hut, and start the Level 20 quest The Arachnid Lair with them.
