Empath Guildhall (Hibarnhvidar)
Located in the Upper Carvern area of Hibarnhvidar. The Guildleader at this hall is Dagreth. In addition to the Guild services, this building contains a housing area, refreshments, a library and multiple items for Empaths to interact within the guild to receive memories and visions of Guild history.
[Empaths' Guild, Entry]
Golden-hued marble flooring flows to grey granite walls that vault high. Thick oak beams crisscross overhead, with a copper lantern suspended from each cross section, to keep the shadows at bay. Facing the arch to the cavern, an enormous tapestry composed of two horizontal panels drapes from ceiling to floor, its presence diminishing the echoes caused by the marble floor.
Obvious exits: northeast, northwest
[Empaths' Guild, East Hall]
Small niches pepper the main wall, each fitted with a faceted crystal lens encircled by an iron frame. Tiny iron hinges to the left of each lens indicate a method of access to the candles that nestle in the niches. When lit, the glowing image of a riolur leaf casts a sprinkling of rainbows across the floor.
Obvious exits: east, southwest, northwest.
[Empaths' Guild, East Hall]
Large iron lanterns depend from the ceiling and host a multitude of candles that brighten the hall to a near daylight glow. The majority of the light focuses on a mural that dominates the southern wall, stretching from floor to ceiling. Due to the earthy tones and raised sections on the mural, the light casts shadows that seem to shift and move along the wall at different points.
Obvious exits: east, west.
[Empaths' Guild, East Gallery]
Down the center of the floor, a blue rug edged with black cord lines up evenly with the walls on each side. The hall, and the rug, ends at a pair of ornate glass doors mounted with silver-finished handles. The doors curve at the top, flaring slightly where they meet the hinges on either side.
Obvious exits: west.
Mapped exits: go glass doors
[Empaths' Guild, Library]
Spacious and well lit, the library has plenty of seating covered in lush wine-colored fabric. Desks and bookcases in warm wood tones complement the fabric, giving the room a serene, comforting glow. A bespectacled young man sits at an information desk, quietly scribing on parchment as his finger taps absently against an open book. Behind him, a large case holds the most frequently requested tomes.
You also see some frosted glass doors.
Obvious exits: None.
[Empaths' Guild, Lower Floor]
A spiraling staircase coils against the wall flanked by iron banisters embedded in the granite for additional safety. Tucked into the curve of the staircase sits a large settee covered in a burnished gold fabric. A woven grass mat spans the oddly shaped floor, fitted carefully around the curves of the walls and staircase and halting a few inches short of a blue-tiled arch. You also see a round three-legged table with a couple of things on it.
Obvious exits: none.

[Empaths' Guild, Social Lounge]
Plush rugs in shades of blue and purple carpet the ground, quieting passing footsteps. Large leather sofas and chairs cluster in small groups, occasionally decorated with throw pillows designed to coordinate with the rugs. In the far corner, a small grated fireplace set into the wall lends warmth to a room surrounded by cool granite. A stone staircase nestles against the eastern wall. You also see a laden buffet with several things on it and an arch.
Obvious exits: none.
