Ex Libris: Expanded Archives

Welcome to one of our town’s best kept secrets - the Expanded Archives!  The contents of this room are meant only for the eyes of the Grand Librarians.  Residing within the walls and shelves are strange, oft-forgotten powerful Artifacts that are difficult to master but will impress any Official Inspector!

In addition to powerful Artifacts, you’ll have the opportunity to hire trusty Special Assistants to send out into the village to find the most impressive tomes.  These Assistants have powerful abilities that will aid your research and study inside the archives to outshine your competition.
