# The Silent College
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
An ancient arcane academy housed in the [[Spire of Silence]] in [[Valhold]]. The College trains wizards, archivists, and arcane scholars. It has studied the seals for centuries and possesses forbidden texts about the [[Primordial Wrath]] — texts it refuses to share with the [[Crown Concordat]] out of fear of panic and misuse.
|
|
|
|
## Role in Campaign
|
|
|
|
- Provides arcane research support (translate the [[Cult Cipher]], identify artifacts).
|
|
- Reluctant ally; must be persuaded (or forced) to share knowledge.
|
|
- Source of spell scrolls, magical identification, and ritual support.

## The Secret Library
|
|
|
|
The College's sub-basement holds the **Vault of Sundered Truths** — texts about the Primordial Wrath, the First Sages, and the Elder Dark. Access is restricted to senior archmages only. In [[Arc 4 - Tide of Ruin]], if the party has proven themselves, the College grants full access.
