Langley Hall

"The Last Lamp-Post gleams through the fog; the furthest-flung piece of London."

"A house of numberless rooms and diverse guests. Founded by Lord Langley, it is a refuge for those willing to brave the dark."

Langley Hall is a mansion in Eleutheria founded by the eponymous Lord Langley.

Welcome Home

"Here, the vanished Lord Langley founded a home away from home; a London for the exiled, the lost and the lovelorn. Distance is suspended inside; no one has ever claimed to have charted the entirety of the limitless hall."

Langley Hall is inhabited mostly by exiles, criminals, or those that are lost. More specifically, Lord Langley invited those who aren't accepted, or don't feel accepted, by New London.

The mansion has a supernatural property: those who leave the building after a night or two there have an unnerving desire to return immediately. Staying there for a shorter period of time usually relieves the issue, but this isn't exactly an easy proposition.

You see, the mansion is bigger on the inside than on the outside; Lord Langley himself is said to be lost in its labyrinthine structure. This phenomenon is known as the Treachery of Distance.

Sanctuary for the outcasts

The mansion is heavily implied to be built from the remains of the original Scrive-Spinster library. The Halved tasked Lord Langley with building a sanctuary from the remains of the library, for reasons that remain unknown.

Tourists keep coming back to the Hall because the Halved inscribed Lord Langley's body with Correspondence sigils that attract people.
