| Langley Hall is primarily inhabited by exiles, criminals, and those who are lost. More specifically, Lord Langley invited those who aren't accepted, or don't feel accepted, by [[New London]]. The Hall itself is quite well-furnished, with enough provisions to satiate a dozen parties at once. However, the Hall's unintuitive and confusing interior can make it difficult to navigate; no one has ever mapped this place completely, they say.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/A_Jetty_off_the_Edge_of_Nowhere|A Jetty off the Edge of Nowhere|Sunless Skies|}}</ref>

| Those who leave the building after a night or two have an unnerving desire to return immediately. Staying here for a short period of time usually relieves the issue, but this isn't exactly an easy proposition, as the mansion is bounded on the outside but nigh-unbounded on the inside. This phenomenon is known as the '''Treachery of Distance'''.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Study|The Study|Sunless Skies|}}</ref>

| Lord Langley himself doesn't come out too often. He usually resides within his personal chambers or the ballroom. Currently, he's draped in melancholy from losing his lover; many people love him, but Langley only loves one person back.<ref name = "lord langley">{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Ballroom|The Ballroom|Sunless Skies|}}</ref>

| {{major spoiler small}}Langley Hall is heavily implied to have been built from the remains of the [[Scrive-Spinster]]'s original grand library. [[The Halved]] tasked Lord Langley with building a sanctuary from the remains of this library for reasons unknown.

| | '''Langley Hall''' is a mansion in [[Eleutheria]] built by the eponymous Lord Langley. It's somehow bigger on the inside than on the outside; Lord Langley himself is said to be lost in its labyrinthine structure. Those who leave the building after a night or two there have an unnerving desire to return immediately. |
