WELCOME TO BRUNNHOLD
VITA'S FIRST UNIVERSITY

Brunnhold is the first university of sorcery. Located in Central Anaxas, it is home to over 15,000 students, 1,500 professors, and an extended faculty of almost 1,700. Apart from galdori, Brunnhold also houses a substantial wick, passive and human population in its college town, the Stacks.

Brunnhold was established around 100 BT (the exact date is lost to history) as an early settlement of galdori. Then called Bruanhald, it was built from red sandstone from the surrounding hills; its name means "red home." Construction of the massive university would continue for several hundred years until Brunnhold was roughly the size of a city. Over the centuries, Brunnhold has been the backdrop of numerous technological and magical advances, including the first production of artificial fire, the mapping of the brain, the discovery of timekeeping, and the invention of steam power and hydraulics. It houses several prominent intellectual gatherings, such as the annual Clock's Eve festival (which functions as a fair for new spells and inventions as well as a religious rite), the Arts Fair, the biannual Southern Galdori Convention, the Gala of Physics and the Cartographer's Convention.

Brunnhold contains a great number of workers culled from the small population of passives. They are referred to by the administration as servants, but do not receive pay and are not allowed to leave campus.

Brunnhold Layout

Brunnhold is an ancient circle-shaped city surrounded by a thick wall of red stone 3 miles in diameter. It is composed of two parts: the gibbous-shaped Brunnhold campus, which contains the inner and outer campus, and a crescent-shaped college town known as the Stacks. These two parts of Brunnhold are separated by an enormous Aqueduct and connected by a huge bridge.


Brunnhold is home to the Church of the Moon, which houses a religious sect called the Everine. These priests study Time and everything associated with it. Many students go on to serve within the ranks of the Everine.
