	The School of Military Science is an academy that assists in producing officers for the [[Army of Transdariania\|Transdarianian Army]], mostly consisting of promising vassals of nobility, hereditary knights or soldiers seeking employment or status as retainers for the various nobility in the region. It also was used to train officers for the Royal Navy of Arangoth in years past, a program that was ultimately curtailed and ended under the Crown's rule, only to be ~~reopened~~ after the [[Arangothian Civil War]] to train officers for the newly minted [[Navy of Transdariania]] after the wars end. Students of this school receive training in arms, as well as instruction in battlefield tactics, logistics, and how to train recruits and maintain discipline on campaign.

	The Royal University in [[Drache]] is one of two in the kingdom of [[Arangoth]], with the other being the Royal University in [[Hornath ul-Marfed]] in the north. The universities were founded by King Anskar in the year 132 to help train civil servants, military officers, mages, and [[Menxism\|Menxvanic]] priests for service to the Crown. Both universities have expanded considerably in the years since their twin founding, both physically and in terms of the courses of study offered. The university in Drache was originally located in the city of [[Millabratel]], but moved to the new capital in Drache ~~several~~ years ago to obtain much needed room for expansion.

	The School of Arcane Studies encompasses the disciplines of magic, alchemy, and psionics, as well as related disciplines such as Thaumaturgy (the philosophy and theory of the nature of magic and how it operates), and studies of plants, animals, and the natural world insofar as they are useful in the pursuit of greater understanding of magic.

	Since the study of magic is more time consuming than many other disciplines, students only attend one class on a given day. Courses meet either two or three days per week, so most students only take two or three classes per term. An instructor can use the day as he or she sees fit, and may lecture, moderate disputations between students, perform experiments in one of the school's laboratories, assign research in the [[Royal Library]], give students time to practice a new spell learned, and so forth.

	While there are certain core courses that all students must complete (or demonstrate sufficient knowledge to the faculty to merit an exemption), as students become more proficient with magic, they can arrange for one-on-one instruction from a faculty member in a specific discipline of interest. As the university is the property of the ~~Crown~~ of ~~Arangoth~~, it is constrained by the laws of the kingdom, and only offers limited instruction in the necromantic disciplines. Similarly, the professors specializing in conjurations do not provide instruction in summoning infernal creatures or making pacts with demons.

	The head of the university is the Chancellor, who is appointed by ~~the King in [[Hornath ul-Marfed]], or~~ the Sithire ~~in [[Drache]]~~. The Chancellor in turn appoints a Provost to administrate each particular school. Each school's faculty selects one of their number to act as their head, though each school has a different name for this position; for example, the head of the School of History and Law is known as the Grand Loreknower, while the head of the School of Arcane Studies is called the Lord Archmage. The heads of the various schools form the Chancellor's advisory board, and they also nominate candidates when it becomes necessary to appoint a new Chancellor.

	The crown jewel of the Royal University in Drache is the [[Royal Library]], an absolutely immense repository of information. Ranking among the largest libraries in the known world, the Royal Library contains books on virtually every subject imaginable, including a heavily guarded collection of magical tomes. In addition, parts of the library also serve as an art gallery and museum, displaying historical artifacts and works of art. Access to the Royal Library is free to students, faculty, and [[~~Crown~~ Officials]]; others pay a modest daily fee to peruse the collection. Given Drache's propensity for crime and natural disasters, the School of Arcane Studies has expended considerable effort in protecting the library's collection from fire, flood, and theft--some would say to excess. The Royal Library is always expanding its holdings, and it has a dedicated staff of scribes copying books that could not be purchased outright.
