Restricted Repository is a quest-exclusive point of interest and an instance located in The Akademiya, Sumeru City, Avidya Forest, Dharma Forest, Sumeru.

It is the Akademiya's vault of forbidden documents, accessible only to the Mahamatra and their trusted associates. The interior is accessible during All Returns to Silence in Cyno's Story Quest, Lupus Aureus Chapter: Act I - Sands of Solitude; it cannot be entered after the quest's completion.

Its entrance is hidden in a wall, near the entrance of the House of Daena. It consists of a small room furnished with many bookshelves, filled with research archives of former students and researchers who studied dangerous banned topics.

Sealed Materials: The Court of Desolation[]

Sealed Materials: Court of Desolation
Despite repeated prohibitions, research on the Court of Desolation in the past decade has increased without ceasing.
Researchers who study the history of the Court of Desolation mainly go through three stages: Discovery, Investigation, and Fanaticism.
The earliest stage of research is the relatively basic "Discovery" phase, which causes little to no harm. The results of their discoveries will show that treasures related to life and death may be hidden within the Court of Desolation. This is also where the rumor of "bringing the dead back to life" may begin.
Following the initial phase is a prolonged "Investigation" phase. All documentation regarding the location of the Court of Desolation has been vague at best. As a result, the structure itself has never been truly discovered.
Many researchers deplete their resources searching in the desert, only to find a scant few remaining stone tablets with the words "Entering the Court of Desolation comes at the price of one's life."
Two different interpretations of the line have quickly emerged as a result. Some believe that "the price of one's life" is the key to entering the Court of Desolation, while others asserted that it was a requirement for the Court to appear. Because the Court of Desolation has never been discovered, the latter view gradually became mainstream.
As a result, many researchers went in a short period of time. Overtaken by their fervent desire to make the Court of Desolation appear, they attempted to sacrifice their lives. Relevant research became increasingly dangerous and was eventually banned.
But even after that, many Akademiya scholars secretly continued their research. It was not until seven scholars — including Murtada Radkani — were arrested that research into the Court of Desolation entered a period of stagnation once again...

Lore[]

The Restricted Repository contains the records of research projects related to subjects that were deemed dangerous enough to be halted by the Akademiya's matra. Although most project files are destroyed in such cases, some are also kept for archive purposes, to warn later researchers, in this heavily guarded section of the Akademiya.[1]

Because it contains critical information, the Repository possesses multiple security devices. Its entrance is hidden in a wall, the bookshelves are equipped with alarms, and entrance can only be granted by its manager Utayba, who guides and supervises visitors. Very few are allowed to enter, even among the matra.[1]
