As you step through the double doors and into the Owlery, the first thing to come to your attention is the smell of it. Hundreds of owls have made this place their home, and while the staff do a good job of keeping the place clean, there's always going to be the wafting scent of owl poo. Watch out, as there may be a bit on the floor as well. The entire room is completely out of sync with the rest of the building; immediately across from the door is a wall made of aged stone, its surface cracked and rough. Small alcoves have been carved into it, from the floor to the ceiling (which is twice as high in this room as it was in the last), for the owls to rest in. A few stray feathers may be found on the floor, or alternately may float down from above and land on those who venture closer to the wall. On the right wall, there is a small room with a closed door, marked '
Do Not Enter: Staff Only'. Right next to this is another door, '
Mail Room' written directly on the surface in shiny gold letters.
Please don't disturb the owls. They may poo on you in protest.
