Lyceum Academy

The walled compound of Lyceum Academy lies amid several steep hills along the North Harbor. A few hundred students and teachers live here, plus numerous common laborers and guards. Visitors undergo a rigorous security screening before being allowed on campus grounds.
The Lyceum compound is surrounded by a low stone wall, and consists of a half dozen class buildings and dormitories on a hill near Seaquen's north harbor. Most of the buildings are built of moss-coated gray stone, with wide covered walkways and broad fields filled with trees that droop with golden moss. The central tower – an five-story, ninty-foot diameter pillar of weathered stone and thick windows called the Aurad Tower – is used for major events, such as the council the heroes will attend, and contains the offices of the professors. However, all the professors have their own homes along the north shore.
Headmaster Simeon Gohanach directs the school, and though many feel he does not know how to properly handle the refugee influx, he has convinced most people that he does know at least how to manage a war. The academy’s new War Department, headed by Kiernan Stekart, is looking for competent agents to build the groundwork for the coming struggle, though rumors say any actual military action is still months away.
Twenty upperclassmen (spellcasters of 5th level), forty underclassmen (3rd level), and seventy apprentices (1st level) attend the school, which is presided over by Headmaster Simeon Gohanach. Faculty members include:

• Kiernan Stekart: Head of the Department of War, in charge of academy defense.
• Fogo Henning: Instructor.
• Banahman Vett: Instructor.
• Cloin Vemeir: Instructor.
• Pristina Whitehair: Instructor.
• Tika Shayam: Instructor.
• Dougan Rambausen: Instructor.
• Brighton Cooper: Instructor.
• Deacon Theal: Instructor.
• Gilver Fern: Head of student affairs.
• Ogoth Who-Wears-No-Mask: Ex-inquisitor, consultant.
• Lee Sidoneth: Harbormaster, friend of the faculty.

Students at the Lyceum study all manner of magic, though there is an emphasis on arcane magic. Most students who can learn the spell Duelist's Etiquette do so, as the school pays a few silver pieces for someone to cast the spell every time there is a spell duel. Likewise, most students possess the Spellduelist alternate class feature, replacing their familiar with the Spellduelist feat.
