The Scholar's Submerged Archive

Deep within the silt-choked chambers of the Sunken Scriptorium, a sealed stone coffer remains untouched by the rising damp.

The air inside the box smells of ozone and old parchment, indicating the magical preservation that has kept these items intact while the rest of the ruins crumbled to dust.
