Apocrypha
This Realm Belongs to Hermaeus Mora
As described in The Doors of Oblivion, the realm is an endless library with shelves stretching in every
direction. Every book has a black cover with no title, and it is said that this is where all forbidden
knowledge can be found. Spirits are said to roam the halls, forever searching for knowledge
---Atmosphere----
The sky is defined by a hazy green cloud cover with a huge swirling void in the center similar to the one seen in the Soul Cairn. There are various places in the sky where what appears to be a portal is open and the ever-present tentacles are sprouting out
---Dangers and threats---
The realm is very dangerous, as the black liquid is toxic and will kill anyone in seconds who happens to fall into it. Even venturing close to the edge of the liquid is dangerous, as tentacles may emerge from the water to strike at people.
There are also shifting areas of darkness in some books of Apocrypha which will continuously damage people while they are in the darkness. The simplest solution is to move quickly from one patch of light to another. However, any illumination of the darkness such as using a torch or spells such as Candlelight and Magelight will prevent the damage effect for as long as the illumination lasts and the Players/NPCs are within the area of illumination. Thus, Candlelight is particularly effective as it moves with the Caster and unlike a torch, does not require relighting it over and over again
The Seekers and Lurkers are also potent in combat. The more common Seekers are easily capable of protecting themselves and can create doubles of themselves to assist in combat, as well as being able to turn invisible and even teleport. The Lurkers, though rarer, are far more dangerous to lower-level Players/NPCs, dealing serious melee damage with their claws and brandishing a variety of tentacle-based attacks, including spewing out tentacle-sprouting liquid that can ensnare the Player/NPC or spawning a mass of damaging tentacles from their foot
