Main Lobby
[Order Headquarters, Main Lobby]
In stark contrast to the bustling streets outside, the quiet of this office is broken only by the muffled rustlings of a clerk behind a corner desk. An open door floods the area with light that sparkles off several dozen ivory candles supported on tall golden stands. Servants and other staff filter up and down the winding staircase and through the arch. A chaise, its watered-silk cushions a deep shade of blue, provides patrons with a place to enjoy the surrounds.
You also see the door to the Administrator's office, some double oaken doors and an arched entrance hung with a blue watered silk panel.

Sunlight drifts in through a bronze-framed oval window and dances over the polished surface of an octagonal parquet table.

The Library

Long heavy curtains drop from ceiling to floor and are flung wide to allow an abundance of light through the long-paned windows in the northern wall. Tall shelves of cedar and oak line the east and west walls. At each small reading desk sits a lantern ready to provide ample light for patrons who choose to read at night. The hushed stillness is broken only by the soft murmur of conversation between librarians, who return the books left on the small mahogany returns desk.
