Academy of Tarien
Idealistic Institution of Higher Learning
Nestled into a harbor deep within the Dragon's Teeth, the Academy of Tarien was a short-lived effort to both compete with and improve upon the University of Karradone. Where the University was tied directly to the Empire, the half-dozen members of the Pre-Ordained who founded the Academy of Tarien were hoping to create an institution that transcended national and species boundaries. By combining and education in history and politics with arcane and martial training, they sought to create well rounded, highly educated individuals capable of defending the ideals that they believed would prevent another Great War. The advent of the Second Elynthi War and Mage Wars certainly make it seem that this lofty goal was never attained. In fact, the Academy itself vanished in the fogs of myth during the latter conflict. While few knew of its location while it operated, fewer still have been to its site since vanished. Still, dark rumors persist about what intrepid explorers to this far away location may have found.
