Characteristics
The Key to Death was acquired at some point by the Men of Letters. Also known as the Black Key, it was described by Sergei as having a handle in the shape of a skeleton and can open a door to Death's Library. However, the key itself resembles an ornate brass skeleton key with a small skull at the top of the handle.
The key will generate a doorway leading to Death's Library upon reading the following Latin inscription from the key's case:
Viator mortalis, cave quoniam scias Clavem Mortis pensare graviter. Il tamen desideres, ut introeas illum abyssum, obscurissimum artis opus est tibi porta.
The portal will appear as the glowing outline of a door, but it can only be opened completely when the key is inserted into the keyhole.
