Magedell



A remote university that lies in one of Eastrock's many valleys.

Magedell lies within a greenery oasis, to the displeasure of its ground keepers who constantly fight the local animal and plant life to maintain the Magedell grounds.

The east and north is where the valley continues out, with Magedell being a larger, semi-flat area, within a semi bowl of mountains to the south-west of the respectable stream that flows through said valley. The stream is called Dorsery stream, named after Magedells deceased founder and first dean, Henrik Dorsery.

Magedell has a rough dirt road, snaking out over the west mountain, then continues on toward the nearest town, the rural village of Millstone.

Magedell itself is mostly one large, broad three story building that is somewhat Victorian in style, its front door faces Dorsery stream. The interior of the building includes, pretty much the entire university, with many of the dorms of which both students and professors sleep.

The front yard at the entrance of Magedell has a fountain situated in the middle, maintained grass lawn, and two buildings to the south east and north west side of the yard. The south-east building is a fairly large brick storage house, the north-west, situated near the Dorsery stream, is a fairly new addition completed six years ago, made as a large dormitory.

Studies
The Current Dean of Magedell is Aubrey Aelrick.

Magedell is a place of learning, as such, it is for those seeking knowledge in the empirical nature of magic.

Those who are naturally magic do not automatically have a place here unless they wish to study the nature of magic, their abilities or to improve upon their abilities through an empirical manner. Those who seek to understand magic, or those wishing to learn how to manipulate magic, through the learning of its arcane art.

Several permanent professors are located on campus, most in Magedell teach Elementist magics and the basics of magic, and of all elemental varieties except death. Oracle Magic is also taught in a mostly empirical manner.

Experimentation is frequently conducted on grounds, with a trail that leads over the mountain behind Magedell for those experiments considered too hazardous to be done on Magedell grounds.

Historia
Magedell was founded by Henrick Dorsery 73 years ago with the intent of creating a place for study, experiments and research that would be removed from the distractions of urban towns and cities.

One other reason for the opening of a university in such a remote place, is because of the nature of magical experiments; having an area as remote as Magedell allows for tests that would otherwise be considered too hazardous to be done in an Urbanized zone.

Over the years, Magedell has gained some recognition in the field academia, most noted for its advantage it holds over most universities because of its remoteness, of which few universities are. Though many think its 'too remote'.
