Mer Kuldir - The school of the dwarves are part of the Dvärgarnas kultur - Ekes - (De sandfärgade/svarta delarna av kartan) kultur. They call themselves Ekes in their own language that is called Ogmano .
From the beginning the school was only meant for Ekes and it mostly still is. The only difference is that now they also teach magic at Mer Kuldir. Even do it toke them a lot of convincing to even consider it from the beginning. They open the school for magic studies around 395 E.M After Magic. And that is only because they realize that they could use magic in their craftmanship. The school is for people, mostly ekes that want to learn more about craftmanship. They have forges almost everywhere at the school. Workshops and the students get their own workplace where they can experiment and work. Mer Kuldir - The school of the dwarves are built near volcano, and they use that hot magma to their advantage when they work and to keep them warm during in the cold environment. It almost always snows at Mer Kuldir because it is placed high up by the mountains where the weather is almost always cold. The snow almost never melts entirety.
The students work mostly with the metal Ongru. It is one of the most common metals for dwarfs and they can reuse it as much as they want. They split it with the capital of Oblon and the city Ham Faldur. They also work sometimes with the Lonninth Stone if they want to use purple color. They also work sometimes with crystals, but they will never tell you why or what they use it for if you are someone from the outside. They only trust that information with people of their own kind or their students.
The ekes does not want to give away any of their secrets for how they make the stuff they do. Not to anyone that is outside of their culture or outside of their school. If you are not a ekes you must take a test. The test is to see if you are worthy of being accepted to their school. Because ekes does not teach just about anyone. Only people they see have potential or they think they can learn from if you are not a part of their own people.

Mer Kuldir - The school of the dwarves is a boarding school. You must live there to be able to learn everything that they have to teach you. The dwarfs don´t take easy on people that are not willing to learn or work. The students have their own room. The school is built out of the mountain range around the volcano. So, most of the halls in the school is tunnels that the ekes have created. It is the same with the rooms and the great hall and the workplaces. They have doors here and there but most of it is the mountain itself.
In the school they also have a train track, so you can get around faster and elevators that they have created to be able to get to places higher up or down without having to take the stairs. The elevators work by releasing a weight and raising the elevator. They stop the elevators by pulling a lever. When they go down, they release the lever that acts as a brake and let the elevator fall. When they want to stop, they pull the lever again. They really let people from the The Magic Council in. They don´t trust Guardians easily.
Ekes are the only people that don´t play wenggium (Wenggiums History). But they like to gamble on the matches. So, if you are a wenggium player or want to make a beat with them, maybe they will let you in. They also are the only magic school that don´t allow magic.

So, the workshops are a big no. The crest mostly hangs outside or built-in metal and engraved in the walls or on the walls around the school. But not as flags, they are hanging outside.
