Mobius Library

As one steps inside, the world outside seems to slip away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of infinity. The interior of the library defies the limits of the building’s modest exterior. Rows upon rows of bookshelves stretch endlessly in every direction, their polished wood gleaming under the warm, ambient light that filters through the unseen sources above. The air is thick with the scent of aged paper and ink, mingling with the faint, almost imperceptible hum of magic that seems to permeate the very walls.

The shelves are filled with every book, magazine, and pamphlet ever written; an impossible collection that spans the entire history of Griffia and beyond. Ancient tomes bound in cracked leather sit beside glossy modern volumes, their spines inscribed with titles in languages long forgotten or yet to be discovered. The books themselves seem to pulse with a quiet life, as if aware of their surroundings, occasionally shifting slightly as though to make room for new arrivals.

The library’s layout is a labyrinth of knowledge, with staircases that spiral endlessly upwards and downwards, leading to more levels that seem to have no beginning or end. Each floor, though identical in design, possesses a unique atmosphere; a subtle shift in the air, a change in the way the light falls on the pages, a different scent carried by the breeze that whispers through the aisles.

Despite its vastness, the Mobius Library never feels overwhelming. There is a sense of calm that envelops visitors, a feeling that the library itself is guiding them towards whatever they seek. It is a popular spot for those studying magic, where scholars and practitioners can be found in quiet alcoves, their minds absorbed in the arcane secrets contained within the infinite volumes.

At the center of the library, on the third floor, lies a small, serene garden; a Tachibanian rock garden surrounded by low stone walls. Here, the sound of a gently flowing stream echoes softly, providing a moment of respite for those who have wandered the endless aisles. It is said that in this garden, time flows differently, allowing visitors to lose themselves in study for hours, yet return to the world outside as if no time has passed at all.
