The Grounds — estate map print
the candlelit floor plan of the whole estate, on archival paper
The Chandlery
The chandler kept the candles; this room keeps the lamps lit. Everything in the library is free, forever — the Chandlery is how the estate pays for its oil. Prints, verse tees, and candles, each carrying a design from the shelves.

Why a store
The Lantern and the Chapel cost real money to keep burning — servers, the database, the domain. The Chandlery exists so the library never has to charge for a text, run an ad, or sell a reader’s attention. Every purchase is oil for the lamps.
