The Conclave of Silverymoon (also called the University of Silverymoon[6][5][7][8][2]) was a great university of magic and a center of learning and wisdom in the city of Silverymoon,[3] created by Alustriel Silverhand as one of her last acts as High Mage.[1]
Description[]
The Conclave of Silverymoon taught all manners and "schools" of magic and knowledge related to magic. Individual colleges within the university system focused on particular specialties.[5]
The university did not have a single location in the city, but its individual institutions were found on both sides of the River Rauvin. However, several of the schools were clustered together in a Southbank campus,[1] where fourteen buildings were originally set aside for university use. These buildings included the original locations of the Lady's College and Miresk's School of Thaumaturgy.[5]
The university was in part funded by Alustriel herself, who sponsored promising students' tuition and the private research projects of various faculty members.[1] It also received financial support from the Spellguard, and new recruits to the group were often required to attend and given tuition discounts.[9]
Leadership[]
At the university's founding, the wizard Eltro Miresk was appointed Magus Senior,[6] director of the entire university.[5] while Arkhen the Icy was named Magus Invoker and head of the Invocation School.[4]
History[]
For many years, there had been talk about joining together the many magic schools within the city of Silverymoon.[10] Finally, in Marpenoth of 1369 DR,[5] High Lady Alustriel had convinced most of the independent schools to merge under a single institution of knowledge.[1]
