The Soltryce Academy, also known as simply "the Academy", is based in Rexxentrum. It is the principal place of magical study within the Dwendalian Empire. It was regarded as a fancy, rigorous, selective school[2] but a wonderful place to learn, with good teachers and bright people.[3] In his childhood as Bren Aldric Ermendrud, Caleb Widogast was a student there[4] and after the Mighty Nein's adventures, became a teacher.[5]
Early in Campaign Two, Fjord had an interest in going to the Academy.[6]
In 835 PD, arcane experiments regarding time, gravity, and reality were being fielded at the Academy. A newer magical energy was discovered or rediscovered that could seemingly adjust such properties. It was being referred to as Dunamis.[7]
Locations
Rexxentrum
Rexxentrum is the principal campus of the Academy.[8] It is located in the Shimmer Ward of the city, with rising walkways and towers visible over the Shimmer Ward's yellow walls.[9] The massive, garden-like campus is well-crafted and well-kept with large marble halls and tall windows.[10]
Zadash
Zadash has a subsidiary of the Academy, called the Hall of Erudition, located in the Tri-Spire District of the city. Its centerpiece is the Zauberspire. It has some connection to the Academy, but the main Academy is located in the Dwendalian capital of Rexxentrum.[11]
Function
The Soltryce Academy, and by proxy the Hall of Erudition, train a number of war mages, some of which were stationed in Bladegarden and on the front lines against the forces of Xhorhas.[12]
Relationships
Although there is mutual respect and appreciation for the work that each organization does, the Soltryce Academy has an uneasy and mistrusting working relationship with The Cobalt Soul.[13]
