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

''"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."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Langley_Hall#A_Jetty_off_the_Edge_of_Nowhere|A Jetty off the Edge of Nowhere|Sunless Skies|}}</ref>

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


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>
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 short while will usually relieved the desire.


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>
Another supernatural properties of the house is that it is somehow 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'''.

{{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.
