The water features are impressive, but it's so dark and dreary and gray..... with the exception of the parts of it that you can't actually get to. I get that that's the theme they were going for, with the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary look, but I don't see how I could liven it up enough to actually make it a home.
Now, if they made a cavern home like Zainsipilu in Vvardenfell, I would buy that in a heartbeat. An underground area full of life. Glowing plants, and moss and greenery and water everywhere. And the bits of sunlight filtering through makes it seem plausible. You could throw a bunch of plants and trees in Erstwhile Sanctuary, but the ceilings and floors and walls would still be gray, and the lack of sunlight anywhere combined with the pervasive stalactites and stalagmites would make the vegetation seem out of place.
One thing that would make the new home better is if we could actually display the Litany of Blood victims on the empty round pedestals in the small room, like in the actual DB sanctuary. Otherwise, the pedestals will be a challenge to make look good, other than placing random statues or plants on them.
