Shelves that could be akin in height to those in a well-stacked library lined the walls of the study which in itself had a tall and arching ceiling that finally explained to Hal why this part of the residence was higher than any other.
That was not to say the only things of interest to see in the study were books because that would be a wrong assumption.
There were also decorations that were made with the purest of gold and silver goblets bejeweled with the most fashionable of gems. Some of them even gave off a strong presence that told Hal that they absorbed Cosmic energy and could most likely release it as well.
Making those gems even more valuable.
When Hal walked through, the sides of the doorway also had shelves built into them, shelves stacked full with books.
