The occupant of this room is absent. The room itself is sparsely furnished with a desk, chair, and bookcase. The desk is piled high with books, papers and assorted other objects, to the point that you are unable to see what wood the desktop is made from. The bookcase is also very untidy, crammed with bound volumes and scrolls. The chair is pushed back from the desk, giving the impression that the occupant intends to return soon.
