The Glass Archive
The wizard who studied the Void left his work behind. Someone needs to retrieve it.
Archmage Velannis specialized in the membranes between Aethara and the Void Beyond. His ruined observatory, the Glass Archive, still stands on a ridge above Greyhaven's eastern approaches. His notes are still inside. They may contain the key to reinforcing the planar boundaries that are failing across the Heartlands.
The Archive has been sealed for two hundred years for reasons that were considered good at the time.
Overview
The Glass Archive is an exploration-and-puzzle adventure set in a pre-Sundering magical observatory. The Archive is layered: the outer observatory is merely dangerous, the inner sanctum is actively hostile, and the innermost chambers contain things that Velannis locked away and never went back for.
The adventure rewards investigation and creative problem-solving. The Archive's defenses were built by a wizard who didn't trust anyone, including his future self, and who was correct to be paranoid. Players who try to fight their way through will find it significantly harder than players who take the time to understand what they're walking into.
