It's actually pretty thoroughly obscure. This makes me wonder if we'll get some other surprising locations for these, not only throughout the Realms, but perhaps even in other settings or out in the planes. After all, when your library-fortress is filled with magical tomes and is frequented by the powerful, arranging transport to distant locations probably won't be too difficult.Also, if one were to run these as an ongoing campaign, the fact that it stops at level 16 isn't too bad. The game is filled with artifact-level books that would tie into the theme and would make for good launching points for high-level adventures. What if a copy of the Demonomicon of Iggwilv or the Book of Vile Darkness were suddenly uncovered in the stacks?</blockquote>
