Structure

World's Edge University is the world's most prestigious academic institution, a flying school that travels the world, often making trips to the edges of the world. Originally established as a bard's college the school offers countless programs in various visual and performing arts where one can become certified as a Master of their art. This requires a student to agree to leave home for an extended period of time, and to pursue studies, complete theses and pass a number of exams.  

Oversight

The University is overseen by a council of the university officers, often appointed by the Chancellor based on their academic merits.
