Abandoned temples are great places to send your doomed party, especially when its ancient and starving deity still lurks the halls. Join the 3RPG team as they create your next 1-shot: The Temple of Ichor.

Comments:

43:50 - It really is just called a scroll shelf, or scroll holder, or if you're being fancy.... a wall scroll holder. If you want a fun scroll-related word, Capsae is a cylindrical container for holding scrolls whereas an Amaria is a type of cupboard that could technically be used to hold scrolls, books, etc.
