The University of Corinth

The University of Corinth is one of the largest and most well-respected colleges in the known world. It was founded nearly one thousand years ago by a collective of scholars and spellcrafters. At the beginning of the great Opal War the head of the University, Archmaester Lhoigor, refused to participate in the Thyran Empire's struggle with the Opal Spires. The University managed to remain independent of either side for the entirety of the war, right up until the Scorching. The Scorching affected the University just as much as it did the rest of the city, and the Great Library and several other buildings were heavily damaged.

The head of the University at the time, Archmaester Lhoigor, elected to relocate the University from its ancient berth to a small compound of buildings in the Diamond Quarter, where it remains to this day. Reconstruction of the Great Library and the rest of the University is still underway, but for unknown reasons has taken much longer than expected. Maester Arkin, the head of the College of Metaphysics and Science is overseeing the excavation and reconstruction. The current head of the University, Archmaester Beleren, has been missing for several months, and in his absence the University is being controlled by the board of Maesters.
