The Great Library

The Great Library of Amber is like many of the other spaces in the Castle that Change from time to time, and has a disconcerting amount of space in defiance of a practical examination.

The main entrance is on the interior of the Crown Square of Castle Amber(Location 19). The three stories of the great curved windows look south.

Jeweled Amber
