Campus
The campus of the Mirari is a spectacle to admire, especially for those unfamiliar with magic. Due to how long the campus has been around, and how many different mages, and magical events that have occurred in the over 4000 year history of the school, magical oddities are the norm and not the exception. There are hallways that teleport your hundreds of feet, infinite staircases (through useful for getting to certain rooms), and in some cases rooms that don’t stay put (through some professors will insist on using them for lectures). It is highly recommended to get a guide, or have some means of being magically located such as a map available at the administrative offices (which are low magic buildings). Much of the tenured faculty have personal towers on the campus grounds, which has only lead to more magical interference on the campus. But this magical interference has made for many good papers and books, and in a few cases has led to new spells created. The grounds are well maintained with lots of magical plants, and the entire campus is surrounded by large trees and gardens that take up a majority of the Mirari estate. Many of the more nature focused mages, spend much of their time in this part of the campus. And like the buildings their is weird magic effects in these area as well, including several moving portals that allow for access to the feywild. These gardens extend about a half mile north, 1 mile east and a quarter mile south of the main campus. There are some buildings scattered throughout the gardens, and some people elect to live here instead of the dorms or housing. The campus consists of a large central courtyard that on one side the Main Street of Kalash, and 3 large buildings one on each side. With the one across from the Main Street being the largest. Beyond these there are several smaller buildings, and courtyards, and several wizards towers, and many demiplanes.Mirari Keep
The main building of the academy, houses many of the classrooms and offices, every professor and staff of note has an office here for each access. This building was the original home of Mirari, and is the oldest building in Kalash, and one of largest even when you don’t consider all of the demiplanes and expansion magic housed within.Mirari Hall
On the southern side of the courtyard, this is the primary living quarters for undergraduate students, and some of the graduate students. It is also home to the food court which has several places to eat.The Mirari Stacks
The building on the north side of the courtyard, houses the library of the academy. While not as impressive as the Tensor library, it does house far more restricted access books and has lots of areas for trying out spells. It also houses the largest collection of spell scrolls and spell books in the world, as it is common for alumni to donate their scrolls and spell books to the academy upon their death.Other Buildings
