Heliopolis
When the Hyperborean Empire conquered Khemit during the 13th Dynasty, they went about integrating it into their empire. The royal capital was moved to Menefet, and the Hyperboreans built a city for themselves nearby on the east bank of the Stygian. They named it Heliopolis and built a temple to Ra as well as those to their own gods. A century later, that temple started an academy to teach the youth of the Hyperboreans side by side with exceptional youth or nobles’ children from Khemit to help develop understanding between the two disparate cultures. Seeing the success of the academy, the Hyperboreans founded a university in the city.
The Academy of Ra at Heliopolis and the Hyperborean University of Khemit remain in existence to this day. As it did in the days of the Empire, the academy continues to educate the children of foreigners and Khemitites side by side. The university, which is not affiliated with any temple, teaches a wide range of topics and accepts students from all over the world, though few attend from outside Libynos.
