Cognitus University

History
Founded to bolster the town of Sevan's Folly's economy such that the townspeople wouldn't be solely reliant on the Rockdriller Company's Electrum mine, the University was intended to rival the very best of the world's magical Universities. Thing went well for the first hundred years or so, until one morning the town awoke to find a half mile wide area surrounding the University devoid of all sentient life, leaving behind nothing but empty buildings. This event eventually came to be known as the Hollow Night.

Over the following years the University was rebuilt and new faculty hired, however it was decided prudent to not occupy any actual town buildings within the half mile area left empty from the Hollow Night, or risk disaster once more. The result of which is the school stands alone, ringed by empty structures, which is further ringed by the thriving town.
