The Library

### Exterior

A stone building, looking both exceedingly ancient and structurally sound. Trees grow out of the sides of the building, their branches coiling around the walls without damaging the stones that form the walls. Above a large, dark oaken door, nearing the top of the wall, a clock shows the time. The four arms each point at one of the many strange symbols that reside along the edge of a large white plate.

### Entrance

Upon entering the library, the first thing you are greeted by is a desk that stands tall and wide, embraced by the roots of the tree that stands in the centre of the circular area. The roots are covered with light green leaves, an occasional cluster of mushrooms and strange looking flowers. The ornate desk holds various items on its counter. Stacks of books, sprawled out pages, signs and a box of odd shaped stamps.

### Tree

Dead centre of the circular room stands the biggest tree you have ever seen, but more than that, it seems to react to your presence. Passing by one of its many roots might have them shift a little, its flowers turning to watch where you're going, telling a branch further up to move a little so you don't have to duck down. That is, as long as you do not bare ill will towards the library or any of its books. The gentle scent of strange flowers draws you further inside the building, passing by one of the many, many book cases you are going to find in this place.

### Gate

As you continue to walk, you will undoubtedly pass by one of the five gates alone the wall. The gate itself is something to marvel at on its own. All around is has images carved into the stone pertaining to the various tomes that lie behind it. At the very top, exactly in the middle, sits the most indicative symbol of them all, one that immediately tells you where you will be heading.

### Portal

Of all things in the library, the strangest place must be that behind the tree, on the opposite side of the front desk. The roots split open to form a mirror-like surface that oddly enough does not seem to reflect anything at all. Yet it clearly is a mirror. In front of it, just a little to the side stands an odd looking structure, shaped by a set of roots that connect directly to the mirror. It is shaped somewhat like a lecturer, allowing for the placement of a single book. If one were to put a book on it, they would find the mirror's surface rippling more and more until a new image came into view. An image that seemed to be pulled directly out of the book. Stepping through this image would put its reader directly into the story, allowing them to experience all that has been written in the book, and nothing beyond that. If a story book were to be imprinted into the mirror, characters would only be able to answer in ways befitting their personalities. Information books hold only information that was written on its pages. Those standing outside of the mirror would be able to watch the on-goings like it were a movie.

### Classroom

One of the gates leads not to a wing of the library, but instead to a classroom like area. A blackboard lines an entire wall, large oaken sit in front of the wall in a half-circle but could easily just be used to study on.
