CHAPTER 6 | STARTING POINT: MORGRAVE UNIVERSITY 153

But such goals should be something that guide
you down the path of knowledge—things that
can evolve and change with your character.

THE SHAPE OF THE DISTRICT

Morgrave University is located in Upper Menthis
Plateau, where it occupies the aptly named
University district. The university itself occupies
the massive Dalannan Tower; this includes a
number of layers.

• The tower is crowned by Lareth Hall,
  a beautiful domed structure than holds
  ILUQVQ[\ZI\Q^MIVLNIK]T\aWٻKM[


• Classrooms and auditoriums occupy
  Dalannan Proper, the levels directly
  below the dome.


• The Dezina Museum of Antiquities
  occupies a number of levels below
  Dalannan Proper. This showcases many
  wonders recovered from Xen’drik and
  other expeditions, though anything truly
  valuable tends to be sold by the university.


• The Morgrave University Library
  stretches down below, with levels and levels
  of stacks below the public reading rooms.
  While the library has its limits—including
  a level of disorganization that results in
  texts being randomly lost in the stacks for
  decades—it is the most extensive collection
  in Breland.


• Below the Library lie the Vaults.
  These hold crates of relics waiting to be
  catalogued, shelves of oddities deemed to
  have little monetary or academic value, and
  a few heavily secured chambers holding
  artifacts deemed too valuable or dangerous
  to be put on display.

Breland Spire is adjacent to Dalannan Tower
and holds the standard student dormitories. The
Commons is a large open-air plaza situated
atop Breland Spire. This massive rooftop garden

a wide range of culinary options. A wide bridge

connects the Commons to Dalannan Proper.

One side of this bridge holds little shops and

vendors catering to students, while the opposite

side is the standard place to display notices of

interest to students.

Golden Horn. This wealthy inn includes a

library, a few large meeting rooms, and a small

concert hall. Rumors say that this is an outpost

of the secret Circle of Song, a society of bards

others swear that House Thuranni and House

Phiarlan regularly send talent scouts to the

Golden Horn. Many aspiring musicians perform

at the Horn in the hopes of being noticed by

one of these organizations.

The Great Hall of Aureon. Devoted to the

Sovereign of Law and Lore, this grand temple is

an architectural marvel as well as a sacred site.
