This room is initially for low-level training, and later its main useful item are bookcases. Utilising bookcases save bank space as every reference book unlocked by the player can be stored making it readily accessible by players. This means that books held in the bank are no longer needed. However, once a study or a quest Hall is built, these rooms also contain bookshelves and therefore the parlour can be removed without loss of utility, especially if players are short of rooms. The only other practical use for a parlour is the experience gained from lighting a fire in the fireplace.
