Chapter 2: Gazetteer of tal’Dorei 91Run by Headmaster Thurmond Adlam, the Lyceum
acts as both a training facility for talented magic prac-
titioners, and a formidable center for all forms of arcane
research and study. Though its walls were shattered and
its libraries crushed during the invasion of the Chroma
Conclave, the Erudite Quarter has thankfully been mostly
reconstructed thanks to the efforts of the Lyceum’s staff
and students. The district’s greatest loss was the hundreds
of thousands of pages torched during Thordak’s reign,
destroying centuries of magical, mechanical, and histori-
cal documents.
the Military District
The Military District is one of the smaller districts
within the city, containing many barracks and instruc-
tional facilities for both the Arms of Emon, and the
standing military soldiers of the city. Men and women
seeking to join the Arms of Emon train within the Walls
of Tribute, referred to wryly by recruits as the Quarry,
where they are given the necessary skill at combat, arms,
and law to keep the city safe. Military recruits are instead
trained within the House of Discipline, a grueling camp
that readies entrants for the dangers of warfare. While
many small stockades are scattered across the districts, the
largest prison in the city, called the Black Bastille, is kept
here within the Military District.the ceMetery District
The Cemetery District is a smaller section of the city
dedicated to interring the deceased who can afford it.
