How it begins
You are an adventurer carrying nothing. After complaining about the "City of Doors", you leapt through a portal and arrived in an abandoned study containing no doors or exits of any kind. All you see are a writing desk (with a brassy key on it), a fireplace, and empty bookshelves. Perhaps your complaints about doors, like the doors themselves, were misplaced.
Notable features
- Portable doors. Doors can be placed on walls to create a new connection between your current room and an adjacent room. Note, however, that these doors have a directional aspect. East doors can only go on east walls, south doors can only go on south walls, and so on.
