You stepped into the house of knowledge, the entrance arches shaped like massive trees. The marble trunks were gird around with vines of gold. You passed through it, wondering at the massive shelves made of pale wood reinforced with gilded steel, and the massive stacks of books, tablets, and scrolls that were therein contained. The entire place had an air of magic about it, and was lit not with candles or lanterns or fire of any sort, but instead with pure white orbs of light that hung in mid-air and provided a bright yet pale light throughout the entire building. It had an air of brightness that made it feel as though no darkness or evil could or had ever touched the place. You continued through to the other side, coming out into a beautiful courtyard. Surrounding a massive white tree with golden leaves were several benches of white marble cushioned with purple velvet. Around this circle were various pathways leading through a garden of numerous flowers, roses, dandelions, marigolds, poppies, and more of which you did not know the name, and some which gave off a faint glow, as well as numerous bushes upon which grew blueberries, blackberries, wild strawberries, and more you had not the name for. On a bench, facing away from you, sat an elf woman, wearing a blue robe of silk, her long golden hair fell down her back, shining in the sunlight, on her long pointed ears you could see golden earrings that bore blue sapphires.
