- **Planning library** — a small working reference room available to guild members. Shelves of history books, old maps, and herb reference charts. Two or three tables with four chairs each, meant for spreading out research and planning work. Functional, not grand — it matches the Guild's character. Used for expedition logistics, case research, and any meeting that needs neutral professional ground.

|
||||
- **General:** Fish and forge smoke. Barge horns (low, flat notes). Urban perfume of too many people.
|
||||
- **Mill road at night:** Usually deserted after dark. Adjacent to Phelan's shack.
