The Commission replaced the previous individual apprenticeship system with a curriculum aimed at industrial development, removing most of the philosophical and anthropological studies, especially any reference to forbidden alchemical techniques. <em >(Question prompts: Who among the PCs thinks this was a reprehensible decision? Who deems it reasonable or understandable?)</em > </li> <li> <strong>The Classrooms:</strong> Ten ample halls, designed for both theoretical and practical lessons, occupy the third and fourth floor of the College. <em >(Question prompts: What is the most unusual subject taught here? Which of the professors shows some interest in the Player Characters? Are there any known faces?)</em > </li> <li> <strong>Highflame Library:</strong> As emphasized by its bright blue crest, the College considers knowledge similar to fire, and its purest expression is an intense but controlled flame, which gave name to this colossal library. <em >(Question prompts: What legendary tome is kept here? Who can give permission to read it and who wants to prevent it at all cost? And why?)</em > </li> <li> <strong>The Kiln:</strong> The College’s underground level includes a network of boilers which provide energy to the entire complex, along with a series of passages and rooms connected to the sewers, containing more-or-less stable remnants of old experiments. <em >(Question prompts: Who or what guards this area? Who has an interest in recovering something from this maze of dangerous junk?)</em > </li> <li> <strong>Inner Quarter:</strong> Just as thick walls separate Eisenstadt from the countryside, towering fences isolate the merchant and middle-class quarters from the College district. This area contains specialized stores, luxury apartments for the Dean and professors, plus a club for licensed alchemists. Almost no students live in this district. </li> </ul> </div> <div class="note-box"> <strong> Note:</strong> </div></html> |
