Academy of Arts and Sciences
The Academy of Arts and Sciences is located on Smouge and is one of the continent's premier education centers for mathematics, physical sciences, engineering, and three-dimensional arts.
Technically an off-campus outpost for Capitalla University of Arts and Literature, the institution has a long and storied history of wild experiments with varying levels of success. It is this history that necessitated that the campus be moved not only outside of the Old Castle, but off of the populous farmland of Capitalla.
It was moved--brick by brick and stone by stone--to one of the most desolate and barren locations across the Continent of Argentii: Smouge. There, it stands to this day as a testament to the eternal daring spirit of invention and experimentation.
Purpose / Function
Originally built as a weather research center, it has been expanded over the eras from a small tower outpost high atop the highest peak of the Dragon's Nest Mountains, it has been expanded and suited to purpose repeatedly over the years. The Lookout Point Tower is especially renowned for being catastrophically damaged and repaired, or else near-completely destroyed and rebuilt atop its own ruins.
Still, as the entire compound has been purpose-built with the safety of People, the land, and the sea as priority. This makes it easier for the builders and architects to undo the damage that is inevitably done through weather or woeful negligence.
