Motto: From a shrouded past to an enlightend future.
Ever since the University of Wenport was founded its objective has been to seek new knowledge, conserve ancient wisdom, and to educate new scholars, researchers, scribes and cartographers. The University of Wenport will strive towards creating a a creative yet serious environment for science and research where scholars from all over Elyria can gather to further advance in all fields of technology and science. The University of Wenport was founded when Earl’s College and Whitehawk College decided to unite their forces for the greater good.
Settlement: Wenport County: Thunormore Duchy: Asebe’ia Thunar Kingdom: Nirath
The University of Wenport is organised as a federation of mostly autonomous colleges and institutes covering a broad range of disiplines and subjects. The institutes generally focus on one or two disiplines, while the colleges have a broader scope of subjects. All colleges and institutes are structured differently accordingly to their specific needs and traditions. They are however all subjects to the Collegium, the governing body of the university. The Collegium consists of one or two representatives from each of the colleges and institutes depending on their size in addition to representatives from the city of Wenport, County of Thunormore and duchy of Asebe’ia Thunar. The Collegium is lead by the Rector who is nominated by the Collegium and approved by the Count of Thunormore. The University Library of Wenport and the Royal Academy are separate institutions that also sends representatives to the Collegium.

The Roderic Institute offers both higher and lower education for architects. Earl Roderic Stormborn was a master in architecture, and is known by his nickname ”the Builder”. He’s responsible for most larger construction projects in Wenport and in Thunormore in general. Roderic wasn’t just a master architect, but he as a foresighted leader. He gathered some of the best architexts in the kingdom at his court to help him in his endless row of projects and ideas. Upon his death his son founded the Roderic Institute in his memory, and so that his life’s mission wouldn’t end with him.

When nominated you gain a temporary membership untill the next academy assembly. At the assembly you must gain two-thirds of the votes to become a full member. Only two members have been excluded from the Royal Academy in its two hundred year long history.

We don't operate with a separate discord server for the university, but we're rather a part of the duchy discord server that you can find here. Just state your intention to join the university and you'll be granted access to our channel!.
looking good :D nice group of people for sure so would recommend joining to anyone :D
I'm glad to see this made it to the split forums
Coming Soon(tm)
Very nice work. Good ideas. It would be nice if we worked together. You have a very nice concept for a university and the Scribe Society of Elyria would really like to work with you.
Please notify me if you want to participate in a more in-depth discussion regarding all this.
I'm sure Nirath is better with you around. I wish you well.
You should setup near near Wenport since tehy'll give you good support and it'll be easier to train up scribe skills if your near a large school.
Thanks for the invitation, but The Scribe Society of Elyria is a cross-server, cross-kingdom scribe guild. I cannot setup everywhere. The University of Wenport will most probably be a school guild. Their scribes could join the Scribe Society.
Even for the Fennec Academy. If you plan to develop as a school, you should join the Society. Jeebs is the NA-W founder. He'll be more than happy to count you in.
Message me on Discord if you want more information. It would be nice to have a chat.
Hail to the king! Hail to the Earl of Thunormore!
I guess the Earl's College is missing a Dean. To preserve and conserve ancient knowledge and wisdom is exactly my intention. History, languages, foreign cultures and other social sciences will be conserved in my books.
So I regret, that I physically can settle at only one place, which is not still decided, but not Wenport at the moment. I founded inkdot guild for scribes, papermakers, inkmakers and others... So I would be proud if we could get in contact. May be I can find a competent dean for you or you ma have candidates to find knowledge at my guild. Lessons could be hold at Wenport University, if there is space for us.
We've now got a public channel in the duchy discord as well for people to ask all their questions about us (or just post random memes, that's fine too).
