Description

This immense palace serves as a hub for cosmic diplomats and star-sent scribes trading forbidden knowledge and eldritch favors. Its halls echo with whispered deals and occasional screams from vanished visitors.

First Impression

A cold pearly light pulses down endless bone-white halls smelling faintly of burnt parchment and dead roses.

Hook

A diplomat urgently seeks adventurers to retrieve a stolen secret trapped within the palace’s shifting corridors.

Impossible Detail

Passages loop back onto themselves despite visible doors leading outward; stairs occasionally ascend then descend through the same space simultaneously.

Opportunity

A whispered deal can gain a 'Bone Key' unlocking secret knowledge repositories or restricted portals.

Secret Truth

Each visitor unwittingly adds a fragment of their soul to the palace, slowly transforming a section of it to their inner psyche visible only at twilight.

GM Notes

- Use looping corridors to confuse and challenge navigation skills.
- The secret-offering rule can be a social trap or puzzle.
- The Bone Key is a rare treasure worth bargaining over or stealing.
