Trivia

• The library in the skyhold is a good source of bookshelves for unlocking the highest enchantment level in an enchantment table.
• It is the only place where cobwebs, stone bricks, bookshelves, portal frames, doors, iron doors, pressure plates and ladders spawn naturally
• The skyhold is similar to the stronghold in Minecraft, however it was placed in the sky because the structure could not elegantly fit underground.
