The Turtlest's Library (Shop idea)
Here's one for you Dm's that want an interesting library. The Turtlest's Library is a regular old library that is located on the back of a giant walking turtle. Due to this book returnal might be a little hard. Also Due to this, this library has not been robbed & thus has access to many ancient books. The library is ran by a tiny turtle person, who is ok if with late fees, as long as it isn't really late fees.
Somedays if the giant turtle is feeling puckish, it will star to shake about, to alert everyone that it's hungry. When this happens, prepare for the library to be closed for 4 - 18 days (late fees will be waved if this happens).
“This photograph of the Combermere Abbey library was taken in 1891 by Sybell Corbet. The figure of a man can faintly be seen sitting in the chair to the left. His head, collar and right arm on the armrest are clearly discernable. It is believed to be the ghost of Lord Combermere.
Lord Combermere was a British cavalry commander in the early 1800s, who distinguished himself in several military campaigns.
Combermere Abbey, located in Cheshire, England, was founded by Benedictine monks in 1133. In 1540, King Henry VII kicked out the Benedictines, and the Abbey later became the Seat of Sir George Cotton KT, Vice Chamberlain to the household of Prince Edward, son of Henry VIII. In 1814, Sir Stapleton Cotton, a descendent of Sir George, took the title "Lord Combermere" and in 1817 became became the Governor of Barbados. Today the Abbey is a tourist attraction and hotel.
Lord Combermere died in 1891, having been struck and killed by a horse-drawn carriage. At the time Sybell Corbet took the above photo, Combermere's funeral was taking place some four miles away. The photographic exposure, Corbet recorded, took about an hour. It is thought by some that during that time a servant might have come into the room and sat briefly in the chair, creating the transparent image. This idea was refuted by members of the household, however, testifying that all were attending Lord Combermere's funeral.”
