The rarest and most valuable and magical book from the town library has been stolen, and a librarian is missing! A team of players must work together to find the book and the librarian. When players begin to investigate the missing librarian’s study, they find a portal to an extra-planar mansion. Upon entry of the mansion, the portal closes, and they must solve a puzzle to open the portal and get back.
The librarians of Elderglow Metropolitan Library (EML) have called in adventurers to help them recover a stolen book and potentially rescue a missing librarian. The book is the Elderglow Diaries, the chronicling of the founding of the town of Elderglow. Parts of the town have begun to vanish suddenly, which is leading the librarians to believe that the fate of the book is tied to the fate of the town. Elderglow Manor was one such disappearing locale.
Upon investigating the study of the missing librarian, the adventurers will find a book that opens a portal to an extra-planar space where they will find Elderglow Manor. However, the portal will close behind them, and they must solve a puzzle to return. In the manor, they will find traps, riddles, and monsters. They will also find the librarian who was in cahoots with the final boss who stole the Elderglow Diaries. Turns out the town’s founder, Ella Elderglow secretly never died, just went into hiding, but her magic was draining. She needed the power of her memories (from the Elderglow Diaries) to sustain her and needed help from someone on the inside.
The adventurers’ final test is in the Hall of Mirrors, where the book is. The librarian reveals that the book is hidden within the Mirror of Memories, where the Keeper of Memories resides. To prove their worthiness, they must sacrifice a precious memory to gain entry into the mirror world. Upon entry, they need to solve a riddle to get the book back. Or they can fight Ella and her dragon.
The puzzle that needs to be solved to return back through the portal: Adventurers must find 6 red books with a single gold letter on the spine. The letters spell out the word “DEPART.” The books are hidden throughout the manor.
Adventurer’s responded to a call from EML leadership: an extremely valuable book has been stolen from EML, and a librarian is missing! All available adventurers meet at the library to learn more about the theft and missing librarian.
