Lycean Library

The Lycean Library is a place of arcane learning maintained in London by the Society for Practical Magic. Often considered an entry point for those interested in the mystic art laid down by J. Q. Boehm, it has an open door policy for some of its floors, though some remain restricted to Society members and its higher echelons.

During the 1980's and 90's, the Lycean Library was targeted for destruction by the Order of the Mandrake, with the silent consent of Control. However, before it could be burned to the ground, Nathan Pendergast, the last Penultimate Sorcerer, used his dimensional magic to occlude it from the Mandrakes.

With Nathan Pendergast's death, the occultation has faded, but many spatial oddities tend to appear within and near the location, and it unsettles most who visit it, whether or not they are familiar with the mystic.
