Description

Citizens of Elsirnor (Example: Joe Blow, the Brewer)
All citizens are required to attend each school of the University (Exmus, Academia, Apprenticia, and Armitagia), beginning as early as age 33-(Intelligence+Wisdom) for human children. Attendance at the school is free for the student and is paid for using 38% the wages earned from apprenticing. After graduation, the student is considered 1HD (d8) and gains the title Citizen of Elsirnor, which allows them to vote in all elections and referendums. Also, each school grants the following abilities:

Exmus (4 years coincidental with other schools, 4 hrs/week)
- Chose 1 Cleric/Druid Orison, which can be cast 2/day
Academia (2 years, 5 hrs/day, 5 days/week)
- Choose 1 Sorceror/Wizard Cantrip, which can be cast 2/day
Apprenticia (4 years coincidental with other schools, 5 hrs/day, 5 days/week)
- Expert Level 1
Armitagia (2 years, 5 hrs/day, 5 days/week)
- + 1 Bonus Feat

Graduate school is considered advancement to Level 1 in whatever particular class is chosen. Cost of attendance is, once again, 38% of current wages. During grad school, each student is sent out on what are known as missionaries, where they deal with small problems, like Kobold encampments and what-not, that arise locally. Level 5 in any class is considered a PhD, which highest level attainable within the university without adventuring outside of the missionaries.

The Aristocracy
Descendants of heroes from the great war with The Red Hand of Doom have taken on the addition of "Mc" to their paternal/maternal names. Each descendant is raised to be a level 5 Aristocrat.

The Beast of Elsirnor (Protectors of the Inner Circle)
The goal of most young citizens entering the University is to serve on the Beast of Elsirnor. However, to do so requires at least a PhD to become a Guardian, a double PhD (or equivalent) to serve as a Sargeant, and a triple PhD to become a commander. Commander Leif McJarmaath is originally from Brindol, but moved to Elsirnor when he became disenchanted with the city due to its evil aspect. All units work in troops of 10 with a Sargeant in charge. 2 troops of each type are on patrol for a continental shift (12 hours, 2 days on, 3 days off). When on time-off, all soldiers enjoy the hospitality of all shops and restaurants in town, within reason.
