Academy of the Arcane

Welcome, young seeker, to the Academy of the Arcane! You can leave your horse there, do not mind the invisible servants. Yes? Oh, of course we are accepting students now, nobody here is on the same schedule anyway. From whence did you journey? Ah, very far, very far indeed! Now come in, and let me show you around. No, it is no trouble, I was just taking a break from calculating permutations of quantum spell energy levels, making sure the power contribution theory holds true for all possible combinations...
Now, these on the left are the vaults. Those kept on this plane of existence, anyway. Much of our funding comes from providing safe storage for interesting artifacts, under the condition that we may study them if we so desire. What sort of artifacts? Oh, all kinds! Many are yet unnamed, but we have recently acquired a double-sided sundial that works even at night and indoors. I am thinking sunlessdial? Perhaps darkdial? Fascinating thing, if I do say so myself. From whence comes the shadow? Does it magically track the sun itself, or is it able to amplify some strange form of ray that can pass through the very planet...
Here is the dining area, across from the kitchen. You will take your meals there when it suits you. Now, to the second level. Oh, let me get your luggage for you. ᚛ᚒ ᚍ ᚘᚙ ᚚ ᚈ ᚄ ᚘ ᚉ ᚑ ᚗᚚ! Off you go, luggage! To his room, up the stairs and third on the left! And unpack yourselves when you get there! Very good. We shall leave the basement off the tour, it is primarily where the bath and toilets drain, to be consumed by creatures you might prefer to imagine rather than see... Up we go, then.
The second floor is primarily dormitories. Yes, you are quite right, this was indeed a fortress. Slightly imposing, perhaps, but you feel quite secure once inside. We conjured stone to completely close in the courtyard, which is where we are now. The central donjon is mostly headmaster space. Private laboratory and the like. Nothing much to show you here, so let us continue upwards.
You will spend much of your time here on the third floor. Classrooms all round, archives in the center. We shall start you off with a course in cantrip foundations and somatic discipline. And might I suggest chirography for your first elective? It will give you a head start when you move on to advanced spellscripting and cipher systems. The headmaster's pet subject, I might add, which never hurts your prospects. He wrote his thesis on the origins and patterns of arcane writing. That was when he developed the Textura Reticulata. Do you know any Old Cadmian? Clunky system, rooted more in alchemy than spellcraft. Still, it was the best thing going for centuries, and most other academies still rely on it, so do not put it from your mind entirely...
At last, the roof! Here are the bestiary and greenhouses. Probably best to stay out until you know what you are doing. And now, I believe I see your headmaster in among the astronomy equipment. Yes, he must have just finished a new transmuter's stone, for there he is, inspecting it under the lenses. No, you are not seeing double: he is me. Or rather, I am him. Well, there is only so much time in a day, is there not? You cannot expect a wizard to be in only one place at a time. Ha!
