Ancient Array — 48x36
An underground research facility and archive built by an ancient civilization that understood magical energies in ways that modern civilizations could barely comprehend. Arcane infrastructure has been combined with strange, almost biological technology, creating a place that feels very different from a traditional magical ruin.

The Array has been buried for centuries, with only a small tower-like structure remaining above ground. Inside, old lights still glow throughout the halls, while a cavern that has broken into the facility has developed an ecosystem of its own.
The complex still contains an old dormitory, an archive filled with shattered recording crystals, a strange device connected to somewhere deeper within the facility, and a containment area where experiments of unknown purpose were once conducted.
At the heart of the Array is the sensory tree. Still alive after centuries, its roots stretch far beyond the facility, allowing it to sense magical energies and other phenomena across an enormous distance.
I originally designed the Ancient Array for one of my own worlds, but I could easily see something like this working as a Netherese research site in the Forgotten Realms.
