And to a certain degree, asserting that Arcanix was founded by dragons would undermine the concept that it’s a seat of humanoid innovation.
Strixhaven is known to be founded by five dragons, and those dragons are still around graduates can join the Dragonsguard, “an elite group of mages who work directly with the Founder Dragons.” The Dragons of Eberron certainly have the knowledge and power to do something like this, but on Khorvaire dragons are so secretive as to be nearly mythical.Most students of Korranberg, Morgrave, or Arcanix are humanoids, and most are from the familiar nations of Khorvaire. Strixhaven is described as being very exotic in its makeup-” you’re as likely to meet a pixie, a dryad, a giant, a treant, or another fantastical creature on campus as you are a humanoid.” Beyond this, “ it is unremarkable to meet someone who hails from a far-off land, since almost everyone on campus is from somewhere else.” Neither to these things especially fit Arcanix, which is primarily an Aundairian institution and at Morgrave University, the presence of Flamewind the Sphinx is remarkable.But none of these really feel right to me. In the Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron, the Starting Point: Morgrave University discusses the idea of a campaign where the exams may be greater threats than any monster. The Library of Korranberg is another option while not explicitly a school of magic, it is a famous institute of learning that canonically has a rivalry between its aligned colleges. Eberron already has a famous university of magic-Arcanix in Aundair. But while this will be a short take on the topic, I still wanted to address the question… How would you add Strixhaven into your Eberron campaign?Īt first glance, this seems like a question with an obvious answer. So I’ll be exploring the Astral Plane in depth later this month. I only have time for one major Dragonmark article, and in a choice between Strixhaven, Fizban’s Treasury, and the role of the Astral Plane, Astral won out. Every month, my Patreonsupporters select the topics for the articles I write.
