A PWA library is a kind of room.
Past World Library in Ethriel is a room. Past World Library in Ethriel is a PWA library. "The PWA library in Ethriel is plush and brightly colored. The shelves are made of stout brown wood. The floor is a thick, cushiony pile in red. The seating areas are a mix of big puffy kalla/vohntrai duffans and the even bigger cushioned nests that vrash and vashael prefer, with the cushions upholstered in vibrantly colorful fabrics. The shelves are completely laden, and the stoutly constructed books feature colorful covers with pictures fanciful or suited to their contents.
There are two basic kinds of books in the library. They are past world novels and reference texts about past worlds. The reference texts are rather fantastical themselves, but most of the reading focuses on the past world novels. It's impossible to spend time here without learning about past worlds... and usually gaining something of theology as well.
Local commands: You can '[CommonLink Random Reading ActionLink]' here to spend a time studying a random book in the collection, which will ignore reference texts. You can use 'look up worlds' to find the names of some of the past worlds before Theoma, and then 'look up' the worlds once you know their names.

The dish comes with a crystal glass bowl of grapefruit juice to drink", "a sliced steak salad. The tomato, scallion, mint, and basil is all very welcome, but there are two stars to this dish. The first is the meat, thin-sliced but ample in quantity. The second is the spicy dressing, derived of fish sauce and livened up with a bit of lime, garlic, and sugar.
