Order of the Seal

An organization dedicated to the counteraction and containment of the Labyrinth. Originally founded alongside the Kingdom of Arnor to handle magical artifacts and constructs, once the Labyrinth became a notable issue the Order shifted focus. When Arnor detonated, the organization went underground; it was not widely known before the kingdom fell, but it became completely secret after.

Headquarters
The Order of the Seal Headquarters exists in a demiplane tethered to the material plane at specific points. Access is only possible through these specified locations, and only when used in conjunction with special rods given to trusted, long-term members. Points of interest include the central hall, the Lord Provost's office, Lady Rolenforth's office, dormitories, mess hall, vault, transport room, and seals.

Central Room
The central room is a massive circular space, with a floor inlaid in mosaic depicting a huge, complicated knot. A double staircase allows access to the upper level, with the Provost's office, Rolenforth's office, and various workspaces. The ceiling is a dome of glass showing open sky, although the weather depicted changes regularly.

Map Room
A room almost as large again as the Lord Provost's office, large and circular, whose floor appears to be covered entirely in shimmering, gold-tinted water on first inspection. The map is in fact a grid of points of light, which when activated depict the topography of Sorel and the intensity of the Labyrinth activity in each location. Lord Provost Stonebold often uses this map to convey points of interest during the investigation of the Labyrinth.

Vault
Currently stored in the vault are several artifacts from the party's exploits, including the mysterious cube.

Transport Room
One-way transport is currently available to Blencathra, Seline, Lerwick, Cole, and Bournemouth. Two-way transport is currently available to Helmfirth and Hanton. The Lord Provost and coordinator can use all portals as two-way transportation.
