Level 13 Bastion Facility

• Prerequisite: None
• Space: Roomy
• Hirelings: 1
• Order: Research (1d8 BP)

An Archive is a repository of valuable books, scrolls, and maps. It is usually attached to a Library behind a locked or secret door.
Your Archive contains one copy of a rare and valuable reference book, chosen from the options in the Reference Books table. While you and this book are in your Bastion, you gain the book’s benefit, as noted in the table. (Your DM might make other reference books available.)
When you issue the Research order to this facility, you commission the facility’s hireling to search the Archive for helpful lore. The work takes 7 days. Whoever does the work gains knowledge as if they had cast the Legend Lore spell. A hireling who gains this knowledge shares it with you the next time you speak with them.
