The Ancient Mage Tower Second Floor

Second Floor: The Memory Vault

Design: A place filled with display benches of sorts, though without notes or titles. The far wall has a green-and-gold stonework alcove that appears decorative. Some who have sat in the alcove have fallen into a catatonic state, during which they dreamed vividly of strange and gentle orc-like beings. In these fragmented and jarringly-shifting dreams, the orcs attempted to teach seemingly random subjects, such as stories of times when wars were avoided, identification of local flora, and how to move other creatures with nothing but the power of thought.

Atmosphere: Soft, incense-like scent. No visible source of light, but the room is always just illuminated enough to read. Some objects in this room are entirely unfamiliar in origin and purpose, while others are contemporary and likely to be sold in nearby shops. Strangely enough, the contemporary objects change from visit-to-visit.
