=== The Palanaeum proper ===
The Palanaeum proper can be accessed from inside the Veil, through a smaller chamber that is filled with [[Soulcast]] crystal partitions.{{book ref|sa1|7}} Past these crystals is a large cavern shaped like an inverted pyramid that descends 57 levels, with a walkway running down along the walls forming a giant square spiral.{{book ref|sa1|33}} This walkway extends down fifty-seven levels, and at the bottom of the room is a large infused diamond that marks the point of the inverted pyramid and aligns with the nadir.{{book ref|sa1|45}} A system of parshman worked lifts are available for use to access the various floors, though multiple lifts are needed to reach the lower floors.{{book ref|sa1|45}}
 
Filing cabinets found on the top level of the Palanaeum proper contain an index of the material within the library, based on the date that they entered the Palanaeum.{{book ref|Sa1|33}} Books and documentation are stored within smaller rooms that have been carved into the rock of the Palanaeum proper.{{book ref|sa1|33}} These rooms contain tall bookshelves, each with a symbol carved on the end reflecting the date the documentation was received.{{book ref|Sa1|33}} Troughs containing a moisture absorbing powder can also be found within these rooms to control humidity levels.{{book ref|sa1|33}}
