The Archive of the Crows is a stronghold and repository in Antiva City. The Antivan Crows keep their contracts, blackmail files, secret histories and recipes in the archive. The archive is a Dragon's Crèche; a building filled with cunning traps designed to kill intruders. Such buildings take decades to construct and began as vanity projects for wealthy dwarven families.
Dragon's Crèche traps[]
As a Dragon's Crèche, the archive features numerous traps apparently familiar to seasoned trap-detectors, as well as an alarm system.
- Tooth of the Serpent - when a rigged floor tile is activated, darts, presumably poisoned, are ejected. Massive blades are also released to impale the victim.
- Falling Mountain - a floor mechanism with an unknown function, either dropping the floor out from under the victim or causing objects to fall on them.
- Poison Wind - a tripwire mechanism.
- Fire Fountain - a hidden jet which shoots flames at the victim.
- Wheel of Liquid Pain - unknown function; a variation on a Storm Age design.
- Thief's Folly - a trap which appears engineered to poison a victim using a false jeweled spider as enticement.
