Corvis University

Perhaps the best-known university in the Iron Kingdoms, Corvis University is a strange mix of glamour and decrepitude. The city’s center for learning is located in a massive but aged estate and is home to many erudite individuals. Corvis University features an observatory and offers courses ranging from extraordinary zoology to astrometry to alchemical theory.

The university has gained some fame for one of its most prolific professors: Professor Viktor Pendrake, who is both the high chancellor of the Department of Extraordinary Zoology and a renowned expert on Immoren’s most dangerous creatures. When he is not busy studying, Professor Pendrake aids the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service, which values his expertise on both wilderness Trollkin and skorne. He is considered the foremost expert on both of these dangerous species.

The university’s estate was bequeathed to it over four centuries ago by an eccentric noblewoman who died a spinster, and it has seen little in the way of renovation since. 

The university also owns property outside its walls, including a bunker and some land southeast of Corvis, which is where the Departments of Military Studies and Natural Sciences have their engineering and alchemical laboratories.
