An Archive serves as a repository for invaluable books, scrolls, and maps, often connected to a Library via a locked or hidden door. Within your Archive, you possess a unique copy of a rare and valuable reference book, selected from the options in the Reference Books table below. While you and this book are in your Bastion, you gain the benefit specified for that book.
