Yalevard University

Yalevard University is the most prestigious, and renowned of all the Gnomish Universities.

A disproportionate number of the greatest Gnomish intellectuals, scholars, arcanists, and researchers belong to Yalevard University. Its library is the stuff of legends (although it is near impossible to find what you are looking for without the use of magic). The University's faculty and students are, unsurprisingly, the most intellectually snobbish and superior that can be found in any and all the universities, and they do not fail to remind others every opportunity they get.

Getting into Yalevard University is a great honour, and entire families of Forest Gnomes will scheme for generations to get just one member of their family into the University as either a student, or, better yet, a faculty member.

Dr. Koppel Schleppen is a professor at Yalevard University, and is the Head of the Department of Chronurgy and Time Studies.
