[ The Bureau of the Architect doesn't particularly stand out compared to the Akademia. The foyer looks the same as any other place of administration, but further in and on the upper floors? Long, teal-coloured crystals sit in neat rows of shelves or hang from racks, sorted by type, function, or purpose. It's a veritable library of ideas and the state of half-finished work on the desks placed at regular intervals is almost eerie. It feels like the space could come alive at any moment. ]

My friend, Hythlodaeus, is the chief of this bureau. Had he accepted the title of Emet-Selch instead of deferring it to me, I would be here in his stead. The Bureau of the Architect assesses submissions from the general populace and deliberates upon whether 'tis suitably unique and worthy of record.

[ He gestures to room. ]

Day-to-day affairs are easily handled by Hythlodaeus, but on occasion I am called upon to make a determination on more complex concepts submitted for evaluation.
