The University

The University is the central place to go for knowledge on the history of TreeHome. It is a place of learning and a depository for all lore in the world.

The University runs several smaller regional libraries around the world. These smaller libraries help cities and towns curate, manage and preserve their history, lore and libraries. Not only do they act as curators for the worlds knowledge but they have Combat Training, Farming courses and more.

The Name of The University has long been forgotten as it quickly dominated surrounding colleges and schools. The founding members of The University had varying backgrounds. There were warriors, wizards, scholars, farmers, captains of air ships and boats, masons, and more. The names and number of founding members had been lost in the shuffle with the creation of their great tower.

Location
The location of The University is to the East and South of Spawn Town on a big island. It is almost directly south of Zerg.

The north end of the island was Swamp, however over the years of development the swamp has been pushed back and off the island.

The Island
It is unknown why this island was chosen by the founding members. Some speculate that it was the tactical advantage it gave to the warriors in the group. Others believe it had special magical properties the mages had wanted to harness. Yet more believe the captains and scholars of the group wanted the central location the island provided with easy access to the mainland and ports with the ocean to the south.

There is a road and series of bridges that connects The University to the mainland on the north-west side of the island while the port is on the south-east side of the island. The docks are directly next to the combat training area. There is also a newly built airship tower south of the main gate and north-west of the docks that is surrounded by farm lands.

What this means in game
Each City, Town and Hamlet can have an area for the lore. This could be as simple as a few books in the town hall or a small library with many books. Lore can be based on players, NPC's, places, even events. There should be 3 copies made, one for the town, one for the regional library and one for The University.
