Construct seminary in Reikos

Revision as of 18:08, 28 June 2018

To construct a Great Work in Reikos. This is to be an artificial lake at the site of the Vigilant Swan to replace the drained pools, so the swans may return, and we can show the Druj that whatever they destroy, we can rebuild better. At the centre of the lake is to be a seminary to train magisters of Highguard in the ways of magic and Virtue, and it will provide a benefit to the mana site owners of the territory.

Proposed by Casinea, seconded by Tassato.

+<!-- This great work involves some landscaping and the construction of a building.
+It landscapes the area around the Vigilant Swan itself, allowing  for the constructions of a lake to be a new home for the Swans that once nested here.  This lake is larger than historically, to make room for the Island in the middle. Upon that Island, the Seminary of the Swan will be built - a school for the training of  Magisters.  It is a building in the classical Highborn style - the tallest tower of which is called Obadiah Spire, which provides the best view of the surrounding countryside; to enjoy or to watch for enemies depending upon the person.
+The Seminary ensures that those of a priestly background understand  magic, while those of a more magical bent have a sufficiently Orthodox understanding of the Way.  The lake is an important part of the school - enclosing the magic practiced in purifying water.
+Such training needs magical supplies that the Mana Sites of Reikos can supply - thus generating a steady stream of income for their owners.
+It is an austere place of study, that demands much of its students  and provides little in the way of comfort; to remove distractions the Students are forbidden to set foot on the mainland.  However since even the most diligent of students requires some relaxation eight elegant swan pedalos have been provided and named by  the Benefactors of Highguard, one for each virtue and an eighth for the Way:  Highborn Virtue; the Pride of Reikos; Naomi’s Vigilance; Adoraims Ambitious Ravens; Asael’s Boon; the Wings of Courage; the Doctors Loyalty; and The Silence of Atun.
+In the competitive spirit of Highguard, races around the Seminary  have started, with students creating a fierce unofficial betting market based around there required chores. -->
