LOCATION
Luna (NA-E server): Kingdom of Vornair, The Stormlands Duchy, Fenix County
In an Adventurers quarter within Ultimos, capital of Fenix County, surrounded by busy streets and comfortable taverns. Its neighbors include the workshop of a female Neran leatherworker and the large home of a female Brudvir carpenter. In the city marketplace, the streets are bustling with merchants hawking old maps and questionable contracts falsely claiming to be graduates of The Quill to unjustly raise their prices.
Join The Quill if you want to learn from the best scholars in the business, the proper way. Do not get stuck selling bad maps or contracts ducking from the local guards.

Over time, you will be able to refine your maps with exquisite detail, separating you from the weekend explorer, who may only know the safest route to the next village or town. Safe is not in your vocabulary.
You are an explorer. A voyager. A CARTOGRAPHER!
Go forth and chart new and unknown territories for yourself and fellow Elyrians! You may even make a profit from selling some of your more exotic maps…

You will be invaluable to any adventuring group with your attention to detail, being able to counter the intelligence of those wishing you and yours harm.
This skill also allows you to lead an adventurous life without leaving the safety of your own city. Perhaps you aspire to be a city guard, or even a county sheriff. This is one of those skills that will assist you in progressing through many careers, as you learn to think for yourself.
With the proper training provided at The Quill, you are sure to catch the worst of the criminals red-handed!
MUSIC
![](http://www.ringofsilence.com/uploads/images/CoE/Schools/cartoon_character_guitar.png)
Faculty Head - Open Position
Music has inspired Mann for as long as they have been around. Even the simplest notes from songbirds put a smile on the average Elyrian’s face before a hard day’s work ahead of them.
Music has been known to not only inspire (increase vitality, energy, strength and endurance), but also sooth (recover vitality instead of sleeping). There are also rumors that one may use these soothing effects to assist in the taming of wild beasts over time.
With enough study in this field, one may even learn how to compose new songs or even the secrets of advanced instrument crafting.
Whether you are “The Lone Lutist”, inspiring troops in a military organization, or part of a travelling band playing in taverns and bars across the kingdom, music can be found all around Elyria in all walks of life.
SCHOLARSHIP
![](http://www.ringofsilence.com/uploads/images/CoE/Schools/Scholarship_1.png)
Faculty Head - Open Position
Passing on our knowledge is one of the most important skills to ensure the success and survival of Mann.
Scholarship is that tool.
The more effectively you can teach others your skills, the more successful society overall becomes. It can be a thankless job sometimes, which does not have immediate return on investment.
Over time you will develop skills and abilities simply from teaching others.
“Give a Mann a fish, he (or she) will eat for a day. TEACH a Mann to fish, they will be capable of providing enough food to themselves and their families for a lifetime.” – Count Sport Vandora, Fenix County
SCRIBING

Some scribes, with proper training, are known to be capable of learning basic skills from other trades simply by creating copies of professional books, or even create new books of their own!
Scribing is our core focus at The Quill so you can be sure that the skills you learn at our Bardic School is among the finest in all of Elyria.
