Lingering odors of sweet herbs and acrid resins hang in the air, commingled with thick smoke rising from misshapen candles spaced around the room. Many of them are clustered around a skeletal spiral of black wood at one corner of the room, the tiered shelves attached to it etched with disfigured faces and twisted forms. They lend a wavering, moody light to the area, their faint glow illuminating several displays covered in stacks of old, mildew-ridden books. You also see a crude wooden sign and a blackened wooden door.

Shadows and Symbols, Sanctum

Room: 4901002, RNUM: 12847
|
A high, vaulted window arcs up the northern wall, its glass clouded and punctuated by blots of accumulated grit. Moonlight streams through in pale, hazy beams, illuminating the large counter that stands underneath it, its gilded edges lustrous and the glass panes crystal clear. Numerous herbs and plants are placed haphazardly upon many shelves near the ceiling, and an intoxicating mix of pungent aromas wafts through the area. You also see a grey-haired pale woman and a simple wooden sign.
