Sheila Silver Library Treasure Hunt

Embark on a self-guided fantasy treasure hunt through the Sheila Silver library. You can go alone, if you're brave enough, or with the support of a full adventuring party. You'll be following a written narrative that reveals hidden spaces, magical trials, and ancient secrets all beneath the branches of the Great Tree of Knowledge.
