Dwilight University

Founded in the Winter of 5 YD by Duke Sammael Haine of Springdale City, the university was built to encourage intellectual discussion and written expositions on various areas of knowledge. The goal is to have guildhouses across the continent. As part of this goal, we have a mutual agreement with the Keepers of Lore in order to see the University taken south and the Keepers taken north.
