The Castle of the Lake Part 5
The Castle of the Lake Part 5
The ballroom is huge, larger then the outside would suggest. There are stain glass windows all around the hall, depicting Gods, heroic battles and the wonders of nature. The floor is covered in dust, but beneath the layers is a mosaic so breathtaking it's hard to walk upon the floor without feeling you are walking upon something sacred. It is of the major Gods creating the world, and even with age, the colors are splendid. There are tables and chairs around the edges of the dance floor, but none look reliable to sit upon or use. There are more light stone here that also come to life as the party enters, and light stones placed upon a giant chandelier above the middle of the dance floor.

The Castle of the Lake Part 4
The Castle of the Lake
The library of the castle is huge, and Sir Vargin is not surprised the party wants to see the repository of knowledge. The room is as large as four peasant hovels and 2 stories high. Books line every wall, with small bookcases in the center of the room, along with study tables and chairs. The room lights up as the party enters. Sir Vargin is very proud of the magic, saying the lightstones have an extra magic to sense when people are in the room. It would take weeks to find anything in the room, but Sir Vargin says there is a book catalog on the table near the door.
This is the main reason the keep continues moving through time and space. The library is very complete in its knowledge, some of the books from future times, since Sir Vargin sometimes is able to convince his guests to leave knowledge with him. But the keep continues to move because a mage wanted to save the library from a ruler who wanted to use the knowledge to conquer the whole world. There is some very powerful mage magic books here, but they are not cataloged and are hard to find. Sir Vargin will help the group find mundane history or simple magics, but he will not help them find those books. If the party does find those books, he will question them on their intent and if he finds them unworthy, he will attempt to kill them. If anyone tries to take the books out of the keep, the keep will instantly disappear to the next new location and time it deems safe.
