To do: Document all the game's Museums:

[Northern Fortress, Museum - 18915]
Filled with shelves of old books and diagrams of historical battles, this hall smells of dust and old parchment.  Illuminated by three narrow windows set side-by-side into one wall are several tapestries and frescoes that liven up the otherwise bare stone walls.  Providing a means of rest and relaxation, comfortable couches sit back-to-back on the varnished, oak-planked floor.  A polished brass plaque has been affixed to the wall.
Obvious exits: west
>look book
Several books of note stand out amid the dusty collection.  The first is a work penned in an elegant script entitled, "Knighthood of Koar: The Mandate for Justice Through Strength."  Also begging for inspection is a scholarly volume entitled, "The Effect of Sunfist Tactics on Today's Battlefield," and easily noticed on the shelf is a well-read, cerulean star-embossed manual entitled, "Northern Fury Training Manual."
>look diagram
The first diagram is inked with a detailed grid map carefully marked with lines and figures.  The second image is that of a map of Wehnimer's Landing, penned with a handwritten plan of action detailing a shield-wall formation designed to protect a small melee force.  The diagram, when viewed as a whole, depicts a plan for the siege of Thurfel's Keep.  Scrawled into the margins are warnings and strong words correlating high casualties and the importance of working as a team.
>look tapestries
A series of scenes show a giantman chieftain leading an attack upon a dwarven formation, though the battle appears to be a stalemate.  Next, the chieftain and a dwarven hero are depicted sharing a handshake upon the field of battle.  They are wounded, but stand tall as they revere one another, showing respect.  Above them, the image of Koar watches them with a hopeful smile on his face.  The scene after shows a young giantman receiving a weathered book and an ancient rolaren morning star from an old dwarf.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read tapestries
In the Common language, it reads:
Thorgig's heir is called forth to defend the Realms.

>look frescoes
A host of adventurers, in full battle regalia, rally around the banner of the Northern Fury as they drive back a horde of enemies.  Following this scene, representatives of the Northern Fury stand before the seat of a nobleman.  Offering a heraldic shield bearing the Northern Fury emblem, the nobleman pays homage, standing in honor of the heroes.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read frescoes
In the Common language, it reads:
Earl Jovery recognizes the sovereignty of the Northern Fury and bestows the noble title of Knight-Banneret upon Valicar.
>look plaque
This plaque has been polished to a high sheen and is hung from the wall with bright brass hooks.
There appears to be something written on it.
