  Center of Learning
  Outside of the Imperial City, the greatest universities in the 
  empire are found in Doskvol. From the high walled towers 
  of Whitecrown to the merchant class guilds of Charterhall, if 
  there is a mystery to be solved, a philosophy to be extolled, or 
  a schematic to be designed, some student of Doskvol is toiling 
  late in the night to gain course credit for it.
  Doskvol Academy
  Principally renowned for its services to the Church of the 
  Ecstacy of the Flesh, the Academy campus in Whitecrown 
  is broken into three colleges, each a pillar or understanding 
  representing the body, mind, and soul.
  College of Naval Command
  The chief training grounds for captains and officers of both 
  Leviathan hunting ship and the Imperial war galleons. This is 
  also where dueling and other physical arts are taught.
  Curriculum includes: Naval law, void sea oceanography, 
  design and architecture, astronomy, alchemy, geography, and 
  applied mathematics. 
  College of Imperial Science
  Under the prestigious leadership of Dean Lenia Kinclaith the 
  college produces the finest political leaders in the Imperium. 
  Recently raised to even greater status for her role in the Unity 
  War accords, students of wealth and privilege flock to the 
  Academy for a chance to be under her tutelage.
  Curriculums include: Law, economics, Iruvian studies, 
  History of Unification, archeology, and political sciences. 
  College of Immortal Studies
  All glory to his majesty the Immortal Emperor. This multi 
  curricular college started as theology department, but other 
  curriculums it now offers include: history, philosophy, 
  spectrology, pre cataclysm studies, music, and theater studies.
  Charterhall University
  Primarily composed of merchant guild sponsored programs, 
  Charterhall University is a sprawling institution spread across 
  the district and throughout Doskvol. Students enrol, often by 
  taking loans from sponsoring merchants in attempt to learn 
  a trade and gain guild membership and status.
  Sparkwright Tower
  School of research and development cosponsored by now 
  rival factions the Sparkwrights and the Foundation. An 
  exceptionally dangerous school to study in due to their 
  constant work with electrosplamic energy and the massive 
  turbines housed in the school. Two current projects: 
   
   Electroplasmic tunneling through the ghost field [Needs: 
  leviathan blood, ghost field cartography, test subjects]
   
   Lightning Tower retrofitting of older failing towers [Needs: 
  leviathan blood, skilled manual labor, artisan crated 
  materials]
  Dunvil School of Sea and Stars
  Affectionately knows as The Duns, this school covers marine 
  biology and eelery governance, naval astronomy in the 
  pursuit of navigation, along with more esoteric humanities. 
  As enrollment in this school drops, the Dunvil family name 
  is increasingly diminished.
  Jayan Hall of Alchemy
  A trade school for state and private alchemy including 
  void water filtration, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and 
  transmutation research. Admission and graduation are 
  bought and sold by city institutions and merchant enterprises.
  Houses of Jurisprudence
  Called Barrister Alley, this collection of homes and taverns are 
  dedicated to a particular magistrate who teaches law to a small 
  throng of students. The barristers are often in competition 
  with each other over grant funds and wealthy students. This 
  has engendered a bitter rivalry between the houses.
  Morlan Hall of Unnatural Philosophy
  The nexus of secret societies spawning from the Path of 
  Echoes, Forgotten Gods, and of course the Ecstasy of the 
  Flesh. Each of which vie for primacy within the halls of 
  academia as well as carry on their own cult activities in secret.
  Classes taught include Spectral Philosophy, Introduction to 
  Modern Metaphysics, and Ethics in Demonology.
  Charter Wall
  Along the tall walls which split Charterhall are a sprawl of 
  artist colonies. Bohemian lovers of music and sculpture, these 
  students are typical patronized by a single individual or family 
  who expect their investments to master their craft and make 
  art for their edification.
  Left with little oversight these romantic souls are often 
  consumed by the wellspring of vices offered in Doskvol, 
  extending the duration of their education by months and years 
  spent trying to pay their rent or blissed out on Bloodneedle.
  Doskvol Academics
  Augus Mendeslon, Master Architect, double agent of the 
  Sparkrights infiltrating the Foundation (calculating, proud, 
  lonely)
  Una Farros, ghost field expeditionary who believes any 
  distance can be traversed safely if the correct paths are know 
  (curios, vain, famous)
  Lenia Kinclaith, Dean at Doskvol Academy, she claims direct 
  lineage to Lady Devera, the first Lord Govern of Doskvol.
  Magistrate Ilks, a destitute teacher and practitioner of 
  criminal law, determined to incriminate the Hive.
  Warden Bakoros, a masked spirit warden who teaches 
  spectrology in the College of Immortal Studies. 
  Orlan Hekler, a wealthy Hive merchant who sponsors a 
  whole flock of students to make art in his likeness.
  Donovan Jayan, just inherited the school after his great 
  grandmother, the former dean, was incarcerated for 
  embezzlement.
