Our adventurers base of operations.
A small castle/keep on a floating island. About the size of an office building. It has outside areas for farming/gardening, training, and anything else needed for successful habitation. It also has a number of indoor areas, for example the library, accommodation, and work spaces.
Who made the island float, where it’s floating, and how to control it are all questions you may be able to answer one day. In the meantime, it floats slowly around the world of the Fey Isles, perhaps following some pre-programmed path.
There is an Obelisk on the “ground” floor which the Larksong Archive speculate is key to controlling Pinion, but yet to no avail. Also on the ground floor is a number of doors, most of which lead to the outside areas of the castle, but one is different. This one has a number of multi-coloured switches, of which two are currently available to use. One just makes the door appear as a normal door to the outside of the keep, the other turns the door into a portal to Diadell. This portal opens up to a seemingly random location in Diadell, and a door will appear which we can use to get to and from Pinion
One of these locations is is the Birdhouse in the city of Diadell, the great library and headquarters for the Larksong Archive. Other locations seem to become accessible for a while on the door and then disappear, subject to ineffable whims.
Elsewhere on Pinion, there is also a large library. This library also has a number of mysteries. The contents of the library seems to change of time, with the contents towards the centre of the library being the ones that seem to change the most, while those at the entrance of the library being mostly “normal”, making the library impossible to catalog. Members of the Larksong Archive have noticed some sort of noise o presence in the library, but have never been able to make contact. It is speculated that this entity is the librarian and the reason that the books seem to change, especially when noise is made in the library and audible “shhh” sound can be heard.
NPCs

Bernie is the messenger imp employed by the Larksong Archive and stationed on Pinion. His role is to write down all communications and directives from the Larksong headquarters to relay them to the party.
