Valeth, Institute of Magics

About
Valeth, Institute of Magics, was founded over 200 years ago. The main building for the institute was built on the south side of Petorris and stands nearly 5 stories tall. There is no particular school of magic that the institute teaches, but rather, it instills plain magical knowledge in its students. The headmaster, Aesim, an old Wizard, wishes to pass on as much of his knowledge to younger students as he can before he dies.

Many of the students who leave Valeth, head off to seek adventure or find work with their new skills. Recently, it has been requested of the institute, that they provide the Ishiran armies with wizards to be used as specialty soldiers. Aesim believes magic should be used only for the betterment of all, and not to kill or destroy.

In the recent history of the institute, no one of great importance has graduated. The amount of magical ability has dwindled tremendously in recent years in Petorris. Aesim finds it harder each year to find students capable of wielding even the simplest spells.

Students (20) - Students come and go as they please. There are no true classes or classrooms in the institute. Professors work collaboratively with students and vice versa to learn and teach new magics. Aesim believes as much magical knowledge as possible should be shared with students capable of wielding the magic.

Influence
The school is tolerated by the people of Petorris. While many humans are hesitant around magics, the know that the teachings in the school are for the students to only use their powers for good. For the most part, this has been the case for many years. The last student who used their powers for destruction has been long forgot by the community at large.
