Entrance to the Citadel.
Moving south from the gate, this space opens up into three distinct basilicas to the north. Each basilica is separated from the others by tall stonework thatare parallel to each other.

Here, inside the curtain wall, the stonework has been solidly fitted together that even the thinnest of blades could not be slid through the space between two of the hewn ashlars.

This opening through the curtain wall is the only entrance from the south into the Citadel. The massive Inner Gate looms open to the south. Hands folded in the sleeves of his dark,
voluminous robes, a cabalist stands ready to guard his city. Hands folded in the sleeves of his dark, voluminous robes, a cabalist stands ready to guard his city. Kenort is here. He

((Walking to the library))

Kenort follows you north.
Genort follows you north.
An elegant library.
Immediately noticeable upon glancing around the room are the rows upon rows of books and scrolls, all of various sizes, shapes, and ages. Lining each wall arbookshelves, about

eight feet tall and made of a dark, polished wood. Set up for display along their tops are various Ankyrean artifacts. Small ladders and stools allow people to browse the higher

shelves or to reach the objects atop them. Similar free-standing bookcases demarcate the sides of two aisles runningalong the diagonals of the room, with openings in the room's

center marking a spot from which all four walls can be viewed. On the northern wall is a grand fireplace, a small fire simmering amidst the glowing coals therein, with a wide, low

hearth that measures several paces in length. Hung above the mantelpiece is a painting depicting Habbak, the last Ard-Dhasani of the Second Mortal Epoch. In the opposite

direction, an open section in the wall admits a view of a spiral staircase, an extensive map barely visible on the wall beyond.The tiling on the floor here appears to be simple at first,

the mosaic colorfulbut arbitrary. From the center of the room, however, the perspective causes each of the four triangular sections of the mosaic to resolve into a skillfullywrought

scene depicting a phase of the Ankyreans' creation of the World Tree atthe Flame of Yggdrasil. In one section, the Conclave of Devotion meets to decide on the flame's creation; in

a second, the Conclave of Science and Natureplants a small tree within the sacred area. The third section portrays the Conclave of Magic holding a rite to help the tree grow, and

the last shows the Conclave of Arts eternally preserving the event in art and writing. Placed tastefully atop these mosaics are low, oaken tables surrounded by deep padded stools

on squat legs, used for research and work within the library. A tall Atavian woman stands here, wings outstretched comfortably. The scroll being held by Habbak in the painting over

the mantel gives off an inviting, cream-coloured light. A small sign indicates that LIBRARY CATALOG will list the materials in this library.
You see a single exit leading south.

Dim light fills the room, filtering in from the small window to the rear, and augmented only slightly by the two candles on thewall. The wooden plank floor has been swept spotlessly

clean. Even the fireplace is clean-swept of ashes. Clutching a golden blade, a plated arm risesup from a massive square slab of iron as homage to the God of Valor. Seasone The

This box has been carved out of a fine piece of mahogany, then polished to a fine glossy finish. An image of a hunched serpent baring its fangs and ready tostrike has been deeply

engraved into the lid. Fine light cuts have been used for detailing around the serpent's belly while larger and deeper yet precise, clean cuts have been used on areas around the

back of the head and down the spine. A fine coat of silver dust has been brushed over the engraving, the dustsettling into the image. Complementing its natural beauty, more dust

settles into the larger groves of the snake causing the perception of light against thelighter cuts ware less dust settles. Two small metal hinges have been attached to one side of

the box allowing the lid to flip open and over to one side to allow easy access to the contents inside. A small but sturdy silver snake has been attached on the opposite side of the

lid, it can coil itself over into a tight circle that forms a strong latch to keep this box closed and secure Underneath the latch the initials L. M. have been woven together into Intricate

engraving then brushed over with a fine shimmering silver powder.
It has 56 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 15 pounds.
It bears the distinctive mark of Lupin Majere.
