Library Thick walls of cherry panels and a floor of oak tiles construct this underground chamber. The air is warmer here than it was in the stairwell and certainly not as damp. A table of polished Yew wood graces the center of the room, on which sits a scroll, a globe of Britannia, and two candles. Shelves of similar make hold a crystal ball, and an assortment of books and scrolls. Paintings decorate one wall. A sword hangs on the opposite wall, next to an arch that leads to the stairwell. On the other side of the arch is a small night An odd feeling of familiarity overwhelms you. Although this library is different from any other that you have known, its features and furnishings are recognizable. You have been here before, yet "here" might accurately describe any number of libraries you have visited, including those both on Earth and Britannia. Yet one memory, as unlikely as it seems, overshadows all others: The chamber on the Isle of Fire, where you met the rather pompous and arrogant mage, Erethian, during your most recent sojourn to Britannia.
