[Animael 1500]

Mt Kaelin Talyiinist Scholarium
Academy of Research and Military Strategy

 

“Given the root power to resist the influence of meddlers is considered to be insight or knowledge, it is viewed that Elvendom is more capable of this endeavor as a grand mission to bring knowledge down from the heavens, and bring it to the mortal world.”

Introduction

The Talyniist Scholarium, is the scholarly heart of Celia'nor. Practitioners of magic, artificing, alchemical and other such pursuits come together to advance themselves and others for the betterment of Celia'nor. As the name of the organization suggests, the group holds ties to the Talyiinism faith, dedicated towards the expansionism of knowledge in the minds of all, to overcome the darker paths that have taken root in lesser mortals.

 

The Scholarium is in a sense, a charter, comprised of numerous guilds who are responsible for teaching their respective members. It's leaders and sub leaders forming a council by which decisions beneath the purview of the First Abbess of Talyiinism are made.

 

Each guild shall be here on referred to as a College, and the several colleges that are present within the Scholarium make up the Academy as a whole. Ergo, Scholarium or Academy shall be used interchangeably from here on. Members of the Holy Blade & the Diraar may see lessons specifically targeted towards training them in their duties. Often these are optional, but some are mandatory. All of which should be highly beneficial to them.

 

★ How it Works! ★   

Colleges

A student, researcher or scholar of the Academy can attend public lessons of any of the colleges within the Scholarium. For example, a member of the Silveira College predominantly learning magic can attend a public seminar on the fundamentals of Alchemy held by the Ak’vei College. However, in order to attend private lessons or receive private tutelage, one may need to apply for membership to the specific college hosting those lessons. Typically carried out by contacting the respective deans. More colleges are continuously being scouted, thus if one has a group or guild that wishes to lean into the collective teaching and research experience - they can receive land grants for a small fort/estate/building with which to teach from around Mount Kaelin free of charge.

Silveira College: Dean Year Silveira

Ak’vei College: Dean Naith Loa’chil

Acal’turri College: Dean Midas

Amethil College: Dean Raziel Amethil

 

Curriculum

Studying at Mt Kaelin isn’t about learning to be a mage or a shaman or even an alchemist. It is about learning to be a historian, an artist, an orator, an inventor or any other profession whilst using ones studies to help, enhance and provide a solid backing to one’s future endeavours. The academies' understanding of magic, alchemy, combat and strategy are indeed expansive, and one can continue to study there even whilst being a fully-fledged spellcaster or academic in their own right. Given the Campuses location being within Celia’nor territory, a great importance is put on high elven culture, and as such the majority of its students are high elven. A student should choose a Major and a Minor from the list below. (OOC: This is primarily for the roleplay aspect of things; even if one has a Major in Medicine, they can still attend lectures and events based on a Major in Alchemy.)

Major - Military Strategy & Combat

Major - Medicine

Major - Alchemy

Major - Arcane Arts

Minor - Artificery & Crafting

Minor - Wilderness Survival

Minor - Diplomacy

Minor - Universal Esoterica

 

Faculty

The faculty members of the academy are mages, scholars and experts in their various fields. But that does not mean they are not also capable of learning or attending lessons. Infact, it is encourages by all deans, for individuals to attend lessons and continue learning from their peers. These faculty members are dedicated to their research and educating generations of students who follow in their footsteps - and helping those students forge paths of their own. Some faculty members value research far more than teaching, whilst others make education their highest priority - but balance can be found between the two, and research grants for success rates with their students are a powerful motivator.

Instructors: Members of the Faculty who have begun their careers recently or over the last few years. Focused primarily on teaching classes and crafting the curriculum whilst the academy evaluates their performance. At the end of a provisional period, an instructor can be elevated to the rank of professor, assigned the role of researcher, or elevate to that of a Professor.

 

Researcher: Members of the Faculty who assist other instructors or professors. Assisting other members of faculty whilst predominantly focusing on their own research.

 

Professors: Those who have distinguished themselves over the course of a long career. Typically at the very least twenty or thirty years, hoping to be recognized with the title of esteemed professor. The honour of this is often bestowed in recognition of groundbreaking research, expert teaching abilities, or something else of significance.

 

Counsellors

Shortly after enrolling at the academy, a student should be assigned an instructor, researcher or professor who shall serve as a counsellor to help the student plan their course of studies. The deans of the respective college that handles the student's application form will typically be the ones to assign said counsellor. 

 

Extracurriculars

Students should pick at least one extracurricular, and a maximum of two!

(OOC: Player Events run by the Scholarium or one of its teachers will take into consideration your extracurriculars, major and minor, granting you small bonuses to any roles or emotes. They won’t work outside of these events.)

Jobs

Students are encouraged to take up part-time jobs if they are not already doing so as a member of the Diraar or Holy Blades. These jobs pay primarily in student credits that are attributed towards their grades, but may also provide minas on a case-by-case basis.

Library Staff: Book organizing, shelf organizing, cleaning and book finding.

Ak’vei Bar Staff: Assistant managing, cleanup crew, cook, host, server.

Campus Grounds Staff: Cleaner, gardener, litter picker upper and maintenance.

Exams

Exams will typically take place and are a great way of obtaining student credits (Tilru). By passing an exam, one may earn a sizeable quantity of Tilru, or even proceed to a higher grade if they have sufficiently met the requirements. On failing an exam, Tilru may be deducted - but this is left to the discretion of the respective professor. Only professors & deans can conduct exams. (OOC: On passing an exam a permanent +1 Modifier is gained that can be used once per week on Player Events run by the Scholarium).

 

★ Rank System ★   

Rankings

Unranked (F) - A member of the Scholarium that has yet to progress in their studies. When used as a unit of measurement for combat potential, they are typically considered of a low threat level.

Aspirant (E) - A member of the Scholarium that has contributed reasonably to the academy or performed well in their studies. They are still considered relatively non-threatening in terms of combat potential.

Initiate (D) - A member of the Scholarium that has proven themselves dedicated and capable. When used as a measurement of combat potential, it is considered equivalent to mastering a single arcane art.

Acolyte © - A member of the Scholarium that has proven themselves dedicated, competent and capable. When used as a measurement of combat potential, it is considered equivalent to mastering two arcane arts and said individual can be considered a moderate threat to others.

Dedicant (B) - Individuals who have reached this rank are powerful or smart enough that they can be relied upon in times of true tragedy. This is the equivalent to mastering three arcane arts, and are decent threats to most.

Adept (A) - Individuals who are trusted and competent in their specialization, enough that they could be nominated as a member of faculty. Equivalent to those who have mastered four arcane arts and are very high threats outside of the magical variety.

Maester (S) - [Redacted]

Archon (SS) - [Redacted]

 

★ Events & Campaign(s) ★

Events occur as part of ongoing player event campaigns. These can range from anywhere between a regular lesson teaching about different ways of countering magic spells, to a practical expedition down into the caverns below the Academy to capture a dangerous monster and bring it back for observation or experimentation.

 

Campaigns are the arcs or stories that take place, consisting of numerous events, npcs and interactive elements. These tie together events, often with clues or hints in some- or overarching antagonistic forces or npcs attempting to accomplish their own goals.

 

Rewards

Due to the nature of player events, rewards are somewhat limited by what the Scholarium can provide. A narrative and chance to develop one's character is of course at the foremost of this. In addition, loot in the form of Minas can be acquired, Tilru can be granted for accomplishing tasks, and permanent bonuses to rolls/emotes can be acquired for events within all future Scholarium Campaigns.
