Grand University of Huzuz
This establishment has a very pretentious name, but the facts do not live up to the sign above the door. This is actually a relatively small university, with only a few hundred students enrolled. Lacking the size of the university across the river, it also does not have the prestige of Mamoon Klesir's University in the Court District. Students enroll for a three-year course, learning etiquette, history, at least one new language, and business.
The school is led by Fanya bint Parigar, a Zann follower. The school is mostly attended by the sons and daughters of middle-class merchants, and lower ranking nobles.
The instructors are knowledgeable but not particularly gifted. Fanya is a good teacher, and she knows several languages, including Shou Lin, the language of the northeast. Classes run from eight to noon, four days out of each week. Fanya has hopes that one day her university will become the largest in Huzuz, but she has a long way to go.
She is currently looking for an instructor in the arts of combat; she has found a suitable building for such a school. The instructor must be not only skilled, but he must be of the upper class, for she hopes to make honorable gentlemen and ladies out of these students. At least, that is how she intends to market the idea. She has had little success so far, for she can pay only two dinars per day for instructors.
One of Fanya's language instructors is a bit special. She goes under the name of Fatima Asad (lady of the lion), and claims to be an albino.
