civilized <1040hp 866m 763mv 26000tnl (-24.40%) 1 PM> A Shadowed Alcove 
  The glow of the fire and torches does not reach this alcove.  Tucked away 
with the windows shuttered only a single table sits here.  The rest of the 
patrons who linger here prefer their own chair and that chair away from any 
others.  Barmaids scurry in to deliver drinks and hurry out just as quickly, 
never lingering long.  Faces are covered in shadow and hard to make out. 
Whispers echo about, but only rarely, as most here would not like their 
business known or talked about.  The smell of old meat and rank ale lingers 
strongly here as the sounds of the inn seem to drift in here from the west 
like a dream of some faraway place.
 
[Exits: west]
     A decorated cave viper coiled around a broadsword, delicately carved from crystal is here.
A very large storm giant stands eyeing the crowd for troubles.

The Great Library 
  You find yourself walking in the heart of the library as you stroll in
between the tall bookshelves made from rich mahogany and polished to a glossy
shine. This section of the library seems to have a noble ambiance about it,
as you glance at the thick stacks of archives. There is a circular rug at the
center of the floor here, with a variety of family crests depicted upon it.
Marble eyes stare out blankly from a small bust placed on a mahogany stand,
and the noble looking figure is of an indiscernible race and gender. It is
here where the exploits of the most famous champions and villains of Thera
are forever archived to be studied by future generations. Peaked archways
constructed from white marble cobblestones allow exit in any of the four
cardinal directions, leading out to more sections of this vast library.
