Leading out of the Temple Library's main floor are five archways. Using the position of the Tree of Clarity as the center point of the Temple Library, the archway that leads to the main entrance hall is to the southwest. The other four archways are positioned at each of the cardinal directions, each leading to other areas of Tar Eisalae. 
Southern Archway: The Alchemy Emporium

Adraejen himself is an avid alchemist and spends much time creating strange concoctions, and trying out new alchemical combinations. It stands to reason that he would have a room dedicated to this very art for those who wish to try their hand. Stocked with endless vials and all the -legal- ingredients, rare and common, one could wish for, there are various work benches and spots for those who's curiousity wishes to get the best of them among the coal burners and aromatic smells. Just be cautious, for sometimes things can go wrong with alchemy when you mix the wrong components. Things might explode, melt, or you could just lose a hand. 

Northern Archway: Practice Rooms

In any craft, everyone will tell you either practice makes perfect, or practice makes better. When it comes to the arcane, you should practice perfectly to make perfect, or practice poorly and risk a magical mishap. In any case, there needs to be a place for one to do this. These practice rooms have protections spells on them in case of a spell going wrong, and are equipped with moving targets for evokers, transmutation materials for those who wish to transmute one thing to another, as well as other areas catering to every known school of magic. For those who wish to dabble in necromancy, however, Tar Eisalae only provides and array of small dead animals. Adraejen is not fond of the idea of anything worse than an undead mouse wandering around his domain. 

Eastern Archway: The Exotic Creature Reservation

This great chamber appears to mimic many different climates, perfect for the strange menagerie of exotic creatures that are wandering around. Meant for the research of the harder to come by creatures of the world, all the creatures here are still quite wild, but are able to be observed in an up close capacity. This collection of creatures include some of Adraejen's personal pets, including an Arriese Rose Hydra, an enchanted snowman, a winter ent, a mistletoe carting alpaca, a rather grumpy Boreas Dragon, a Storm Rune Wolf, and a random mole. 

Western Archway: The Relic Room

The Relic Room is a very special area of the Temple Library. This is where the relics of deities past and present are kept for the sake of the future, including the strange events that take place under the guiding eye of the Gods that hosted them. Kept under careful protection to ward against magical backlash and theft, these powerful relics are on display only as a reminder of how the past shaped the present. Some notable pieces in the relic collection include:
Judge's Key from the House of Keys
Mendean's Book of Events
The last remaining Tree of Knowledge grown by Judge (heavily warded)
Angela's Cradle of Death
Angela's Death Cloak
Chae's Spell Tome
Basalt from the temple of Bryn

Living Areas:
The location of the living areas for those who reside in Tar Eisalae is known only to them. Tar Eisalae is partially sentient and knows who is allowed to pass to the deeper private areas of the temple. These areas are accessibly only when a resident of the temple, either the 
'clergy' or Drae himself invites them deeper through the secret doors hidden in one of the many bookshelves. The living areas include Drae's living quarters and personal study, as well as rooms for any of his family that wish to reside in Tar Eisalae, rooms for the clergy, kitchens, and bathing rooms. 

Drae's personal rooms include his sleeping chamber where there is a massive bed built into the far wall, cut into an alcove in the magical stone. There is a bubbling spring for bathing and a wardrobe, and historical tapestries lining the walls for decoration. To feel more at home, there is also ivy clinging to the walls as well as large hanging plants and flowers that come down from the high ceiling. Connected to his room is his study. Very similar to the alchemy emporium off of the main library, this area consists of Drae's workbench, personal journals and alchemy diaries, successful concoctions, a cauldron over a fire, cupboards full of alchemical ingredients, including the ingredients that are considered contraband in Parvpora. On the wall hangs a massive full-length mirror made of magical quicksilver and Lacriamium. A gift from Drae to Angela at his ascension, this mirror is connected to a matching mirror in Angela's rooms, allowing for travel between Tar Eisalae and the Sundering Gardens. 

Drae's personal chambers are only accessed by a levitation plate located behind his throne, rarely grants access to anyone besides his wife and children. Select members of the clergy have permission to disturb him there.
