Items: The Lost Library of Janesh

The Lost Library of Janesh is an extrademinsional library brought from the lost of islands of Janesh when the islands were destroyed in a volcanic eruption. The form in which it was transported has been said to be many things. Some have called it a door, a key, a locket, even a small cube of little decorations. A key word has to be said and a meta-physical door decorated with fanciful creatures and ancient writing appears.


Once the door is open inside is an immense library of five levels with sweeping arches and huge windows which open up into ethereal nothingness, and the center area is open to all five levels. Books on every subject abound here for the people of Janesh loved to study everything. Ancient, forgotten magic, languages long dead, even studies of dragons can be found here. The prize is the tome supposedly called Life Immortal by Hideo. The book supposedly gives a way to magically extend life. This is what the Black Wizard, Shaniko, was after when he ransacked Tayke.


But even though finding the library is hard, actually finding the password and crossing the threshold is near impossible. The password was passed from Keeper to Keeper of the Lost Library, the last killing himself before Shaniko could reach him. And it is in the ancient language of Janesh, which few, if any, can speak.


Finding this library and how to open it could become a whole campaign spanning goal. It would be up to the GM on whether or not Hideo's Life Immortal is actually there or actually holds the key to life immortal.
