Personal history

Founding of Strixhaven University

In the fourth century DR, Venali and the rest of House Grenan founded Golden Coast College (which at that time was called "Strixhaven University") in Longwood with a local family of gnomes, the Stoner Family.

Shortly after the founding of the college, school administrators discovered that House Grenan included language in the college charter that banned all gnomes from being in the administration or attending classes. This dispute resulted in a violent encounter at a board meeting in which Venali died. For more details, visit the History section of the Golden Coast College page.

Mephistopheles' Infernal Incursion

Later in the history of Golden Coast College, mages and diviners at the school forsaw an infernal incursion. One evening, each location at the school that featured the crest of House Grenan began glowing red, tearing open portals to the Nine Hells of Baator.

Devils began entering campus, claiming to be there on behalf of Mephistopheles, Lord of Cania. The devil representatives explained that Venali Grenan had signed a contract to sell ownership of the school to Mephistopheles, and they were there to take what they rightfully owned.

The devils' plan eventually failed, thanks to defending adventurers and the blue dragon Razaycrynth. For more details, visit the History section of the Golden Coast College page.
