Rooms

  This area is not so much a floor as it is a massive balcony, thrusting

out of a wall of the Temple of Dark Magick and extending to just under the

watchful eyes of the statue of Drakkara.  Tall mahogany bookshelves, each

nearly reaching up to the distant ceiling, line the library in neat,

cataloged rows.  Each shelf contains numerous texts, each having something

to do with the goddess of dark magic.  The items range from simple paper

scrolls written in flowing black ink, to elaborate stone tablets with

carefully-chiseled words.  Leather-bound or hardcover books are more

plentiful, each tome carefully numbered and categorized to aid in research. 

Tall ladders stand next to each bookshelf, each placed next to a sconce

containing a smooth stone enspelled with continual light, as candles are

deemed too dangerous to keep near the flammable texts.  Closer to the edge

of the balcony are a series of desks, suitable for casual reading or intense

research.  The library's caretakers, all faithful of Drakkara, walk quietly

amongst the shelves and desks, replacing unneeded texts on the shelves or

carrying some work that requires copying and labeling.  An iron staircase

leads back down to the main temple below.
