Caerwyn (White Fortress) is a self-sustaining university in the Heldannic lands. It was founded on the lands of Grimr the great grandfather of Master Marcus Son of Zane Vandilblood. Master Marcus and Caerwyn have become rather wealthy through Marcus' ability to teach, and inspire others. Many well known and notable families of both the Heldannics lands and north Fourmor send their children to be trained within the walls of Caerwyn.
Caerwyn is not free and either the plup or the Guardian/s of the pulp pay for the service provided by Caerwyn. These "payments" vary case by case, often the fees are covered in gold but not always. Other services, trade, & land have also been known to cover expenses. Caerwyn now covers some 2,000 acres, including farm land, which a number of great structures have been built. Buildings are another great example of covering the expense of sending ones offspring to Caerwyn.
One such structure is a Great Adytum of the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is a known supporter of Caerwyn. This relationship between Caerwyn & the Brotherhood is truly beneficial to both. The Brotherhood has the opportunity to recruit some of the best as new members and Caerwyn guides the support and protection of the Brethren. The Great Adytum of Caerwyn has been used frequently through the years by all the great leaders of the Brotherhood. The natural and structural fortifications of Caerwyn offer great Protection for the Grand Master and Grand Council to meet in safety. Master Marcus is a well known member of the Brotherhood and so are many of his students.
The Heldannic landscape is beautiful and are the inspiration for mush of the artistic works produced by Caerwyn students through the years. In the far distance snow capped mountains can be seen, the home of great Dwarven communities. Between the school and the distant mountains stretches untamed forests. From the mountains and passing through Caerwyn's land is a might river. Deep and wide the river runs clean & cold, fed by the snow fall and iced caps of the mountains.
Marcus is no longer alone in his position as teacher. He has "collected" the help and experience of some of Midian finest educators. There are few, if any, greater schools Caerwyn.
