==== The Empty Room ====
==== The Empty Room ====
The Empty Room was said to be the hardest room to access in the whole [[The Strange and Wonderful House|House]], but that was perhaps for the best, as no one in their right mind wanted to access it: as soon as one entered the pure-white expanse within, one lost sight of the door itself, becoming nothing but a non-corporeal point of awareness in the middle of the void, lost forever — “eternal, suspended, deathless”. Only [[the Architect]] knew how to get in and out, and liked to spend its afternoons there, “thinking and drawing up blueprints for new rooms for [[#The Infinite Wing|the Infinite Wing]]”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 54: The Empty Room|The Empty Room]]'')

==== The backyard ====
The backyard was located beyond [[#The Gardens|the Gardens]] and housed a portal to [[#The Beach|the Beach]] about which [[the Guardian of the Ink Wells]] once had to write “a report”.

==== The Beach ====
The Beach was a beautiful beach of soft black sand, with a clear blue sea which almost seemed to glow. The water of the sea was warm enough to swim in, and, more bizarrely, was breathable, so that one might spend hours underwater without needing to resurface. A relatively well-documented portal connected [[#The backyard|the backyard]] to the Beach; less well-known, until it was discovered by accident by [[the Guardian of the Ink Wells]] and [[Treefrog]], was the portal from the surface of the water in one particular spot to [[#The Library|the Library]].
