University of Xyrneiros
The University of Xyrneiros is a magical academy built on an artificially and magically created island off the northern coast of Osugbo in Glendoveer. Accessible to the mainland via a causeway that opens at low tide, the university is connected to the small town of Presmarivale which sprung up to support the university and its students. Founded in 28 PR atop an old Realm War Outpost, the univserity was originally created to train Glendoveer mages for the war, but later transitioned into becoming a larger and more open arcane institution. The many colleges it teaches include the main schools of magic, minus necromancy, clerical studies, restoration and healing magic, artifice, and psionics. Due to its position in heavily contested territory throughout the ages of Quelmar, the university has had a tumultuous history.
