The Arcane Library -

New visitors are often unnerved by the low, constant hum that vibrates through the floorboards—a sound not unlike a sleeping dragon’s breath. This is the sound of trapped spells, suppressed curses, and the collective sigh of a thousand forbidden texts yearning to be read by unworthy eyes. The Library’s interior is a logistical nightmare and an architectural miracle. Designed by a mad geomancer in the Third Age, the building exists in a state of quantum flux. The ground floor is a sprawling labyrinth of oak shelves that rise three stories high, yet from the outside, the building is only a single story tall.

But to those who know—the desperate, the curious, and the foolish—it is the most dangerous repository of knowledge in the known world.
