Afia

The Vault of the Unbound, high in the Arcane Spire, secures Levithal’s most forbidden magical artifacts. Its entrance is a towering adamantine door, inlaid with shifting arcane runes that form a constantly changing pattern. Only council members and their most trusted aides can access it, requiring intricate magical and mundane verification. Inside, floating platforms glide between towering shelves and containment fields, where artifacts are secured in glowing energy prisms or rune-covered cases. The air hums faintly with suppressed power, and the walls are layered with adaptive protective wards. Spectral sentinels and crystalline golems patrol the Vault, their purpose to detect and neutralize any intruder. A central scrying orb monitors the space, reporting directly to the council chambers. Here lie cursed relics, unstable magical prototypes, and ancient spells too dangerous to use. Despite its security, whispers persist of artifacts calling out to those who dare listen.
