Fiendish Phantomes, Athenaeum

[Fiendish Phantomes, Athenaeum - 8084626]
Massive open space has been hollowed out into the core of this tree, creating an interior pavilion with multiple arched outlets that peer deeper, through the tree's branches. Carved into the oak walls of this dome are floor-to-ceiling bookshelves trimmed with faenor metalwork, each one depicting different vegetation. The worn floor is covered in omnifarious parchments and half-torn books that are blanketed with dust and webbing. You also see a tattered fiber-braided ladder.
Obvious exits: out

On the oak shelf you see: a muck-laded oxhide tome with brown-stained parchment, an alizarin flyrsilk-lined opus with dried daisy chain trim, a purple glitter-coated codex layered with gold feathers, a bead-coiffed ahmdir blue folio sewn with selshis tassels, a matte bismuth-encrusted booklet set with a scarlet eyeball, a ribbed toffee brown manual filigree embossed with laje, an oversized bloodstained tome with an inverted goat skull, a singed yellow page painted with a crimson pentagram, and a tattered scroll.
