Description summary:
The first paragraph of the description varies based on Cabinet Noir.

Cabinet NoirDescription
1A small room, well-lit, lined with files and bookshelves. It looks as though it might be any sort of administrative office – if one did not look too closely at the materials […] inside those drawers, or open […] the chests in which your disguises are kept.
2What was once a small office is now a substantial suite […] An entire cabinet is devoted to medallions from militaries in which you have never served […] badges for employments you don't hold; a license to work as a professional interpreter in the Khanate.
3The Cabinet is supplied with everything you might need to build up the history of a person who did not exist. Letterhead stationery of ministries and companies both on the Surface and below. […] Lineages of […] families who have mysteriously lost an heir […]
4More than half of your Cabinet Noir is concealed by false walls and swinging book-cases. Shadows further confuse the place. Even if someone reached this room, they would not easily find its primary purpose.
