The Eternal College of San’evarir

[thiccpazuzu 542]

 

The Eternal College of San’evarir

Operating in the capital city of Haelun’or, Karinah’siol
Issued on the 22nd of the Deep Cold, 1801

 

 

“Students filing in,

everywhere and about,

flittering little birds

in an aviary

of information.

 

Bell chimes once;

for southern migrations.

Twice and then;

westernly they go.

 

San’evarir,

an auditorium

of the old way.

 

 

Aiera Sullas, 1796 F.A.”

[A poem, “College Lives.”]

 

 

 

Knowledge and progress are paramount to the well-being of the Mali’thill society and to the Silver State of Haelun’or. They represent the foundation upon which all the peerless accomplishments of the High Elves so steadfastly stand the test of time. Have a rotten foundation and, naturally, the structure collapses. It is, therefore, of supreme importance to have a College capable of meticulously providing both the young and old alike the lessons needed for a life dedicated to the pursuit of progress and health.

 

 

 

Concerning the College Curriculum within San'evarir

 

An adequate curriculum is one that allows the student, upon completion, to easily and immediately delve into academics at the highest level as well as, throughout one’s entire life, to bathe constantly in the blessed waters of wisdom. Prospecting students, upon applying, will select as many subjects as they desire from the following:

 

• Standard High Elven Studies

The High Elven studies are paramount to any Mali’thill desiring to understand the culture of which we are all a part, the language as well as the history of the High Elves. It will aid one in understanding the key concepts of our society and the events that shaped us so dramatically over the years. The Standard High Elven Studies are composed of three core subjects that are deeply intertwined with one another, representing the cornerstones of the modern Mali’aheral and the modern Haelun’or. This subject will then thusly be covered by three classes: Mali’san, where one would learn the grammar and vocabulary as well as to think through arguments, and present their opinions using the Elven language, or Mali’san, Mali’aheral Culture, where pupils will learn what it means to be a Mali’thill and how to duly be one, and Mali’aheral History, where students will be presented with the actions of the past and all the events that have left their mark over the Mali’aheral people, from the times of Malin and Larihei, all the way up ‘till our modern days.

 

• Natural Philosophy

Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking, a way of skeptically interrogating the Universe. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the mental ability of a Mali’thill than that of understanding the scientific way of thinking and the world in which one lives, of objectively assessing the world around one. Through science one learns never to bow to absolute authority of rulers, only to the facts and laws that govern nature. The study of the philosophy of nature is perhaps the quintessence of the pursuit of progress, an endeavor true Mali’aheral eagerly work on their entire lives. In this class, one would learn about the pure sciences and the principles based on which our world and everything in it functions.

 

• Thaumaturgy

Magic is a part of our world as important to the harmony of life as science. It has enormous potential for knowledge and progress. We, the Mali’thill, have an innate aptitude towards it, courtesy of the Golden Pools and the foresight and ambitions of Larihei. We have a duty towards ourselves to try to understand the phenomena that have, for so many centuries, dominated our way of being and contributed so much to our culture. In this class, students are bound to learn about the mundane magic that is present around them, about the mysterious void, mana and the magics that are thusly possible, about all sorts of creatures and artifacts that are the sources of so much wonder among scholars and magicians. This way, students will be aware of all the theoretical aspects of the art of magic, granting them all the knowledge required to delve deeper into the art and begin their journey of becoming true mages in their own right.

 

• Common Studies

This world is shared by various races, each with its own culture and history therefore, for us to share this world in as much peace and harmony that one could hope for, it is needed that we are able to understand each other and that we share all the fruits of our labours, all the works of literature that, throughout eons, have been created with the aid of such a widespread language. Common is an international language, used by most inhabitants of this world and, therefore, of vital importance. In this class, one would learn all that is to know about the Common language and would study the most important pieces of Common literature.

 

• Health

To a Mali’thill, the body is sacred, akin to a temple. The art of healing, medicine, offers one the means to preserve and restore our inviolable bodies from the assailing harm and pestilence. Medicine, in our society, is essential, for there can be no progress and health without it. This most delicate art is where all the sciences harmoniously mix together. In this class, students will learn about the intricate means of healing as well as about plants which aid in the process of health preservation and restoration.

 

Note that the Health course is provided in partnership with the clinic of Karinah’siol and its medical staff therefore the requirements, the structure of this course as well as the means of evaluation may differ to some degree from the rest of the available classes. Prospecting students of this class are thus encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Curriculum of Hiylun as written by the department of Hiylun as well as contact the College or the clinic’s staff should they have any concerns.

 

[!] A copy of the curriculum of hiylun would’ve been distributed alongside this document, making it available to all readers.

((The Curriculum of Hiylun may be found here))

 

 

To complete their subject of study and to acquire a College diploma, thus graduating, students will be required to attend and partake in the final debate at the end of their selected course(s) wherein a topic of utmost interest relevant to that subject will be presented and students,  putting to good use the knowledge previously taught, will engage in a formal argument so paramount and in spirit to the pursuit of progress.

 

 

Career Prospects

 

Considering the quality of education provided by the College, the graduate is equipped with the knowledge required to succeed in one’s field of study and to pursue progress in the academic field to the highest of levels. It is also possible, in the case of Thaumaturgy graduates, to apply for apprenticeships to various mages even within the College and, provided they accept, to perfect oneself in the art of Magic. Similar chances may immediately present themselves to medicine students at Karinah’siol’s clinic.

 

 

Additional Educational Opportunities

 

Besides the previously mentioned subjects, it is the wish of the College staff that public lectures on various topics, including those unrelated to the main aforementioned courses of the educational program, open to all denizens of Karinah’siol, even those who are otherwise not enrolled in the College or following its curriculum, can be provided to the populace. The Mali’thill’s thirst for knowledge is not bounded by institutions or age,  thus it is hoped that such lectures open to all can be arranged, to contribute to every Mali’aheral’s pursuit of progress.

 

As such, masters and teachers of crafts that do not have the time or possibility to share their wisdom according to the College’s main system but still wish to shed some light about their specialty are therefore sincerely urged to contact the College’s administration to discuss the organization of such public presentations.

Concerning the Laws of Conduct

 

To ensure and safeguard the quality of the education within the College, as well as to protect the dignity of its students and staff, certain rules must, at all times, be followed and impartially enforced. Naturally, failure to abide by the laws of the Eternal College will warrant punishment.

 

1. All students and staff are to be treated, as well as treat each other, with the utmost respect. Prejudice and bias may be shown in institutions of lesser honor, not in the Eternal College.
2. The Silver Laws apply unequivocally and without exception on the school grounds and within San’evarir as a whole.
3. Disrupting class activity or lectures is utterly prohibited.
4. Students, teachers and anyone who may tread within the College are not, under any circumstances, to use foul language or display violent behavior.
5. It is forbidden to vandalize, damage and/or despoil school property.
6. It is absolutely forbidden to sabotage or destroy the work of fellow students or staff.
7. One must not abuse the power of magic within the College. Spells are to be performed only in controlled environments and when the threat of accident is minimal.
8. Plagiarism, fraud and/or forgery, done by either the student or staff, will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Sources must be credited and quotes must be attributed to the correct individuals. Likewise, cheating is inadmissible.
9. Copying and distributing lectures or class material without the authorization of the teacher is akin to theft and, therefore, prohibited.
10. Students and staff alike must, at all times, wear decorous attire.
11. Drinking alcohol or smoking substances of any kind on the premises is strictly forbidden.

The Arcane user known as Chiyo Osser narrows her rather tired gaze upon the work presented from the High Elves. This High Elf herself sighs deeply at the idea before throwing the paper to the side rolling her eyes letting out a "Brr Brr. Magic Goes Pew Pew Pew" in the most sarcastic tone

[Shorsand 1745]

Iolinn, the naive fledgling Sullas, eagerly awaits the college to begin full enrollment; wanting to follow in the footsteps of her well-admired Talonni'haelun, Aiera.
