-Being one of the oldest sections in the Great Library, Hall of Pawnsmoor keeps its old-style architecture; stone arches with elaborate carvings, ornate wooden bookshelves, and tattered tapestry with golden linings are prominent in the major section of the hall. Its age is also identifiable by looking at the blue marble tiles instead of the more recent grey and white marble pattern.+Being one of the oldest sections in the Great Library, Pawnsmoor Hall keeps its old-style architecture; stone arches with elaborate carvings, ornate wooden bookshelves, and tattered tapestry with golden linings are prominent in the major section of the hall.

-The hall was originally had five stories tall and capable of housing over 144,000 manuscripts, as mentioned in its administrative record, written by an unknown. Grand Archivists of the old era had planned the hall to be the central part of the Great Library, but they canceled it for unknown reasons. Visitors can still find the hints of such a plan by taking a thorough glance over the golden arches with etched brass marks within the hall. +The hall originally had five stories tall and capable of housing over 144,000 manuscripts, as mentioned in its administrative record written by an unknown individual.

-Because of the time-space distortion around the hall, most of its structures are disintegrated into nothingness or shattered, leaving a portion of its former shape floating around in the vacuum. The only segment that’s still holding its own shape is the remaining of its main hall–most notably, the first and second floor–and a giant door where the only access from and to the Great Library is located.+

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
  
-In Library’s early era records, the Hall of Pawnsmoor was one of the original complexes that made the Great Library. One of the earliest Maker’s schematic journals was notably found within the hall, and over 30,000 scriptures written in ancient glyphs and languages. The original proprietor is unknown; the Archivists’ research on the hall’s foundation and its history is still ongoing.+In Library’s early era records, Pawnsmoor Hall was one of the original complexes that made the Great Library.

The original proprietor is unknown; the Archivists’ research on the hall’s foundation and its history is still ongoing.
  
-In the event of the Mad Queen Invasion, the invader raided the Hall, caused more than half of the collections stored there to be lost or destroyed. The raid also triggered a time-space distortion, causing the hall to fall apart slowly. In the event's wake, Grand Archivists put a designation of “Forbidden Chamber” to the hall in order to keep it off the limit of the Library’s visitors.+In the event of Mad Queen Invasion, the invaders raided the Hall, destroying more than half of the collections. It also triggered a time-space distortion, causing the hall to fall apart slowly.

-After being off-limit for millennia, the hall became accessible again thanks to the Pars Mythos initiative who broke the seals that locked the hall away from the outer world. In the following decades, the hall witnessed the infamous Pars Mythos Revolt, in which it became the initiative headquarter until a group of “visitors from the forbidden realm” made a breakthrough and foiled Pars Mythos’ coup against the Grand Archivists. +After being off-limit for millennia, the hall became accessible again thanks to Pars Mythos initiatives who broke the Forbidden Chamber seals.

 At the peak of Pars Mythos’s revolt, a group of wanderers made it to infiltrate the hall with the use of Serpent’s Tunnel provided by the Merchant’s Guild. This event led to information leaks which unveiled the initiative’s true motives, and ultimately, its dissolvement not long after Leictor was terminated. At the peak of Pars Mythos’s revolt, a group of wanderers made it to infiltrate the hall with the use of Serpent’s Tunnel provided by the Merchant’s Guild.

-In the event of Archivist’s Curse, the hall was owned and maintained by an entity called “Chessmaster”.+Ten years after Pars Mythos Revolt, the hall resurfaced and became accesible once again along with an entity who called himself “Chessmaster”. The hall was linked to the disappearance of Great Library’s patrons over a decade, with the most recent one involved a certain riftwalker and one of the Library’s curators--the latter would be identified as Ruby, Scarlet Corner's curator.

 +At the time of their imprisonment, they discovered the Empty Tome which then they used to outmatch Chessmaster in his own twisted game of chess. They eventually broke free from Chessmaster's clutch and made an escape out of the hall.
