Dornogal Bookcase

Dornogal Bookcase rises seven feet from the floor, its dark mahogany frame gleaming with a lacquered finish and brass corner brackets catching the light. Five tall shelves are lined with midnight-blue felt, each shelf carved with wisps of ivy and a small sigil of Dornogal—the dragon coiled around a quill—etched in silver along the upper rail. The glass doors are set in thin bronze frames, with tiny runic latches that glow faintly when moonlight touches them. On the crown rests a relief portrait of a stooped scholar, eyes intent on a tome, while the lower feet flare outward in clawed talons, as if the bookcase were perched to guard secrets rather than merely hold them. The wood bears a grain like rivers of ink, and a faint scent of rain-soaked timber lingers in its joints. Loremasters say Dornogal carved and bound the case with timber from a sacred grove, binding it with wards against damp, fire, and prying hands; some claim the sigil helps readers recall forgotten passages when they study near it. Whispers say it traveled from the Dornogal enclave to your workshop, taking on the weight of a dozen stories with every shelf. In gameplay, the Dornogal Bookcase is more than a pretty focal point. It functions as a storeroom for rare tomes, scrolls, and relics you commission or loot, granting extra inventory slots for lore items when placed in a home or guild hall. The item also acts as a catalyst for a small quest chain: reading certain tomes beneath the crest unlocks “The Archivist’s Passage,” a sequence of chapters that reward cosmetic effects, experience boosts to Knowledge-based skills, and a permanent insignia title upon completion. The hidden compartment, revealed only after you unlock a brief set of tasks, yields an ornamental key and a fragment of a map to a forgotten wing of your own domain. Decoratively, the bookcase adds prestige, with a lore-rich ambience that can raise your house rating and influence NPC responses when visitors remark on your study’s depth and discipline. Saddlebag Exchange helps you find the best price. It aggregates listings from multiple servers and regions, so you can compare offers side by side, see current prices, and view historical price trends. With seller ratings, authenticity indicators, and clear shipping terms, you can choose confidently. Set price alerts to be notified of dips, and filter by edition, condition, or variant (standard, ornate gilded trim, or ebony). Saddlebag Exchange also outlines return policies and guarantees, helping you avoid overpaying on a rare furniture drop. For price-conscious collectors, it’s the smart way to secure a Dornogal Bookcase without overwhelming your coffers. Collectors who seek the full effect pair the Dornogal Bookcase with the Scholar’s Lantern and Archivist’s Chair, creating a study that inspires quiet study and strategic planning. The bookcase bears the heaviest encyclopedias yet remains easy to reposition during a room remodel. Its resonance grows as you fill it with rare volumes, becoming a living archive that whispers about possibilities—paths you might take.
