— Comprilith directions

The Comprilith is an exceedingly difficult tower to explore. It is full of knowledge and secrets from all eras of time, so there is much desire to investige its heights -- however it also exists in a broken state of space and time, making any amount of travel throughout it perilous.
Comprilith explorers have found tricks and methods of traversing this strange place that appears different every time they enter it, by paying attention and noticing the natural patterns within. One of the easiest patterns to discover was that of a strange writing and language system that appears scrawled across many locations throughout the mystic tower. These marks and symbols are yet undesiphered, but they have use beyond their meaning -- the symbols appear to anchor certain room configurations, allowing them to resist the reality warping that occurs within the Comprilith.
These locations may often be reached in a different manner every time an explorer enters the tower, they will always have the same general room layout surrounding them. Someone making their way through the Comprilith will always be able go get a general sense of where they are by paying attention to the scrawled symbols around them.

The Comprilith

Designed by the two gods of space, time, and knowledge, this tower was nearly finished construction when The Seven Day War killed both gods, turning them into God-husks and leaving the tower in a dangerously broken and unfinished state.
Secrets and knowledge from all eras can still be found within the Comprilith, but it is incredibly dangerous to search them out.

Example Scrawls

Shelfdoor Triangles

What does it mean? Haven't a clue. I bet those little triangles are important in some way to the message. Doesn't matter anyways -- what's important is that if you find a bookshelf with a door section on it... check. the. door. frame. If it's got this scrawl with the three triangles on it, do not go through that door. The doorway leads to an area entirely unknown to whoever enters it.

The Bookenders

These specific stacks of shelves can be tricky. If you're not careful, you'll find yourself wandering through them for what feels like years, seeing the same books time after time after time. It's important that you learn to recognize the symbols on the ends of the shelves -- keep certain ones on your left to return, and certain ones to your right to progress further. Mix that up and you're lost.

The Red Declaration

We call it the Red Declaration because it looks like it's declaring something, and well, it's red. It might be a symbol of love, war, or promise between two individuals or groups -- who knows.
What matters is what it means to us, not what it meant to the artists. The Red Declaration always appears in a small abandoned room just off the side of a long hallway. When you find it, you'll know that you're heading in the right direction to reach the main amphitheater.

Grand-Hall Scrawl

The Grand-Hall feels safe, but it's quite dangerous. While it's big and easily recognizeable, there is unfortunately a lot of paths you can take that lead away from it, and quite often will not lead you back. There's also the slight problem of the Grand-Hall appearing mirrored or flipped and random times, too.
If you're ever unsure, and want to make your way back to the entrance, check for the scrawl at the end, underneath the three arch windows. Whichever way the arrow is pointing, go the opposite, and you'll be fine.
